They will be rounding up about 500 transient paroled sex offenders, including about 40 in San Francisco, to spend 5 to 10 p.m. on Halloween evening in a designated location. “We put these parameters in place so children have a safe experience trick-or-treating,” said Fred Bridgewater, a corrections spokesman. He declined to identify the location of the roundup center.
