A Florida sheriff has proposed banning sex offenders and predators from public hurricane shelters in his county. Seminole County Sheriff Don Eslinger says sex offenders should be evacuated to a separate shelter where they can be monitored. Eslinger is proposing using a 50-bed work release center at the Seminole County Jail as an emergency shelter for sex offenders. Officials say that last year, two sex offenders were sent by their probation officers to a public shelter at a Longwood high school. The men were isolated from each other and the rest of the people at the shelter. The state Department of Corrections says sex offenders are not allowed to go to public shelters. A spokesman says they must go to certain places, such as correctional facilities or with relatives. Under legislation approved in Jacksonville last month, sex offenders seeking shelter there must disclose their sex crime conviction to shelter operators upon arrival.
