Miracle Village, Florida
According to Time, Florida has some of the most stringent laws regarding X-rated offenses. One of the state’s restrictions is that offenders can’t live within 1,000 to 3,000 feet (depending on the county) of a place where children might gather. Although this is necessary to protect children, it creates a logistical problem: Where can these offenders legally live?
In 2009, that problem was solved by creating a town called Miracle Village, which is mostly populated by offenders. As such, it has stricter rules than the average HOA, as there’s a community-wide 7 pm curfew, many residents are required to wear GPS-enabled ankle bracelets at all times, some can’t use the internet, and they’re all prohibited from interacting with minors.
