Implement Prison, Jail, and Supervision Reforms
People in Florida’s prisons face many challenges to their rehabilitation. They are paid nothing for the labor they have to do, despite producing millions of dollars in value for our state and being charged relatively high rates for room and board, doctor’s visits, phone calls, and other basic resources. They are more vulnerable to and less protected from outbreaks like COVID-19. Yet even once a person has left prison, our system is set up to send them back for “technical violations” of probation or parole: behaviors that don’t count as crimes for someone not under community supervision. Improving conditions in prisons and jails and reducing unnecessary reincarceration strengthens the health, safety, and stability of whole communities.
