Sex offenders have been banned from storm shelters in other areas.
What is Maysville"s policy on mixing sex offenders and kids when our emergency shelters are in use.
Hundreds of sex offenders being tracked by authorities are not be allowed into public storm shelters under a some new policies, but would be allowed to ride out the storms in prisons instead.
The policy was created to keep sex offenders and predators away from children in the public shelters.
Sex offenders who choose to seek safety in a prison would be kept in areas such as visitor or meeting rooms.
"They are not incarcerated, we don't want them on the streets. We don't want them violating their probation either."
The policy only affects sex offenders under state supervision who are not allowed near children.
Sex offenders will also have to sign a form that outlines the evacuation plan and instructions. They must wear an ID badge, while smoking is not allowed. They can make collect calls on a pay phone. No pets or family members are allowed and no using the canteen.
They can also be searched at any time by authorities.
