The Florida Sheriffs Association and more than 30 Florida sheriffs are gathering at the Florida Capitol today to launch the Florida Sheriffs Research Institute and to release a report on Truth in Sentencing .
Florida’s law that ensures all state inmates must serve at least 85% of their court imposed sentence in state prison. The Florida Sheriffs Research Institute was established to conduct comprehensive research on a variety of topics that affect public safety and our communities. The Institute is dedicated to serving Florida’s sheriffs through data collection, analysis, and rigorous research without the influence of outside special interests.
