Quick Summary

Louis spends time with sex offenders who are on parole

About This Program

California has some of the toughest regulations controlling sex offenders anywhere in America - after leaving prison they can spend years on parole being tagged and tracked and a lifetime on an online register. In his final film exploring different aspects of life in Los Angeles, Louis Theroux visits hostels to talk to parolees as well as the people charged with monitoring them, and asks whether the restrictions keep society safer and when, if ever, it is right to give sex offenders a second chance
