WASHINGTON - The state Department of Corrections is now requiring all of the state's most violent sex offenders to wear tracking bracelets for at least a month after they're released from prison. The move comes a year after corrections officials started testing GPS monitoring bracelets on a handful of Level 3 sex offenders, considered to be the most dangerous and most likely to reoffend. Two weeks ago, 89 Level 3 offenders across the state were wearing the ankle bracelets. Corrections spokesman Chad Lewis said that Wednesday's announcement means that nearly 200 offenders could be on GPS monitoring at any given time.
