The Florida Department of Corrections operates state prisons in Florida. It has its headquarters in Tallahassee. The Florida Department of Corrections operates the third largest state prison system in the United States. It is the largest agency in the State of Florida, with a budget of $2.4 billion, a little over 100,000 inmates incarcerated and another 115,000+ offenders on some type of community supervision. The Florida Department of Corrections has 143 facilities statewide, including 43 major institutions, 33 work camps, 15 Annexes, 20 work release centers and 6 road prisons/forestry camps. It has more than 23,000 employees, about three-quarters of which are either certified correctional officers or probation officers.〔(Florida Department of Corrections About Us page )〕 ==History== Florida's first penitentiary was opened in the U.S. arsenal property at Chattahoochee in 1868.〔(Florida DOCs Timeline page )〕 From 1991 to 2010, major crime rate, per capita, dropped 52%. Major crimes include homicide, rape, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, theft, auto theft and arson. This led, in turn, to fewer new convictions and imprisonments, leading to closure of facilities. The number of new annual admissions peaked at 42,000 in 2007. It dropped to 35,000 new admissions in 2011. In 2013, the Florida Corrections Secretary reported that 87% of all inmates would eventually be released back into society. Incarceration is determined by the judge on the basis of a point system. On various scoresheets, if the criminal or crime scores above 44, imprisonment is mandatory; under 22, the convict may not be imprisoned. Between the two, judges have discretion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Florida Department of Corrections」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
