Unconstitutional extension of my registration beyond what I was originally sentenced to

I was convicted in 2005 of a federal law 18usc 2423(a) which is transporting a minor across state lines with intent to engage in sexual activity. I was sentence to 8 years in prison, 5 years probation, and 15 on the registration. I completed it all .Now I’m told I must register for life and that a community notice will be sent out on me.  I feel like I’m stuck in a nightmare. It would be more humane to execute me.  It’s worse than the probation I was on!  I’ve called 30 lawyers at least and they all say short of death, I’m stuck.  I can’t live like this again. There’s no public safety here.  It only humiliates and isolates and causes people to go dark.  I would rather have death than this bullshit.  One can never rejoin in a community with this crap on them. I was doing drugs since I was 13 up to the day of my crime.  I’m now off drugs and clean.  No more arrests.  I’ve also been working every day of my life and I was looking positive for a change.  Then bam!  The sheriffs tell me I have to register for life.  I’m crushed.  Everything I worked for is now gone with no hope for the future.
