The Issue
THANK YOU FOR SIGNING, PLEASE RETWEET & SHARE!
Florida can do better!
SECOND LOOK legislation addresses the critical problem of harsh sentences.
SECOND LOOK will provide individuals with an opportunity for resentencing.
Ages 14-24 could earn a SECOND LOOK after 10 years in prison.
Ages 25 and older could earn a SECOND LOOK after 15 years in prison.
You can view a draft of the Second Look bill on the Florida CURE website:
The SECOND LOOK bill will provide a mechanism for eligible individuals to have their sentence reviewed. After being incarcerated for a set number of years (10 for youth, 15 for adults) a review will occur to determine if they have been rehabilitated. They will be required to petition the original court of jurisdiction where they will have the opportunity to show they are reformed. A panel of experts will review their prison history, educational, and rehabilitative records, expert testimony, character witnesses, and more. The courts may order supervision and mentorship programs upon release.
In the 1990's, Florida eliminated parole entirely.
Florida law requires individuals serve 85% of their sentence before being eligible for early release.
Florida currently has more than 14,000 individuals serving life without parole. This is more than 32 other states combined.
More than 16,000 children under 18 growing up in Florida adult prisons with harsh sentences.
Florida prosecutes more children in the adult justice system than any other state. FL has direct filed more youth than CA, TX, PA, NC, and MI combined.
Please contact Governor Ron DeSantis at (850) 717-9337. You can press #1 from 8-5 PM and leave a message. Tell him why you think he should support A SECOND LOOK BILL
Then we need everyone to contact their Florida Reps and Senators urging them to support this bill in the 2024 Legislative Session.
