What happened
A City Journal investigation found that more than 25% of registered sex offenders in San Francisco reside in taxpayer-subsidized buildings. The Taylor Street Center, one of the most populated residences, houses at least 31 registered sex offenders. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the federal Bureau of Prisons contract GEO Group to run the reentry complex, which can house 240 people.
