Florida Reoffender Laws
Sign Now
Dear Governor Bush, Florida politicians, and the citizens of Florida:
We, the undersigned, are calling for the abolition of the following laws in the State of Florida, with retroactive effect:
PRISON RELEASEE REOFFENDER LAW
HABITUAL OFFENDER LAW
3 STRIKES AND THE MANDATORY MINIMUM LAW
(Contained within Florida Title XLVI Chapter 775 775.082 and 775.084)
The insanity of these laws is reflected in the following statement:
A judge reluctantly gave a man life in prison after a $20 burglary, saying he had no choice under a state law that requires such terms for repeat offenders. Circuit Judge Bob Wattles called the punishment unjust and unfair. -- WKMG-TV/DT Orlando | 7.16.03
We are becoming a society without human compassion; a society that commits more atrocities than those we choose to condemn. We need to make a change now.
Harsher laws have never been the answer to reducing crime. Crime rates rise and fall with the economy. Education, positive values, and job opportunities reduce crime.
Respectfully Submitted.

The H. O. Law is double jeopardy, triple jeopardy and worse! The unfair horror stories are too numerous to count. And it's costing the State of Florida millions every day for terrible results.

These laws are antithetical to democracy and Christianity. They are inherently inhumane and unjust.
