Julia Tuttle Causeway sex offender colony
The Julia Tuttle Causeway sex offender colony (also called "Bookville" by former residents) was an encampment of banished, registered sex offenders who were living beneath the Julia Tuttle Causeway—a highway in Miami, Florida, USA—from 2006 to April 2010. The colony was created by a lobbyist named Ron Book, who wrote ordinances in several different Miami-Dade County cities to restrict convicted sex offenders from living within of schools, parks, bus stops, or homeless shelters. Since Book was also head of the Miami Homeless Trust, he ironically was also in charge of finding housing for the released sexual offenders. In the city/county of Miami-Dade, these ordinances made it so the only legal areas sex offenders could live in Dade County were the Miami Airport and the Florida Everglades. Miami-Dade laws are significantly stricter than State of Florida laws on residency restrictions for sex offenders. Florida State Law required that no sex offender could live within 2,000 ft from "where children gather." Under that requirement, housing was possible; however, under Book's lobbying, the Dade County Commission increased that number to 2,500 ft, thereby banishing hundreds of local citizens who then began gathering under the Julia Tuttle Causeway.〔(Miami sex offenders form outcast colony ), UPI (May 3, 2009).

==Colony setup==
Before the colony was established, the State of Florida provided sex offenders a list of locations where they could live that did not violate the boundaries set by the City of Miami, but the closest was in Broward County.〔Thompson, Isaiah (February 6, 2008). (Homeless Sex Offenders Face Eviction ), ''Miami New Times''. Retrieved on July 21, 2009.〕 Although the Florida Department of Corrections initially denied that they were forcing the offenders to live under the bridge, the ''Miami New Times'' reported that internal communication in the Department of Corrections proved this to be false and that released offenders were told to live in the colony or face more jail time.〔 Citizens who were released were issued driver licenses by the State of Florida listing their addresses as the Julia Tuttle Causeway.〔
As many as 140 people lived in the colony in July 2009.〔Knipe, Julie (July 10, 2009). (Sex offenders sue over Julia Tuttle bridge colony ), ''The Miami Herald''. Retrieved on July 21, 2009.〕 They were required to be in the camp overnight from 6 pm to 7 am, when a representative from the Department of Corrections arrived to check that they were there.〔Zarella, John (2007). (Florida housing sex offenders under bridge" ), CNN.com. Retrieved on July 21, 2009.〕 Most of the structures in the encampment, described by ''The Miami Herald'' as a "shantytown", were tents, improvised wood, or cardboard structures.〔 Some had plumbing and cooking capacities, and residents of the colony shared generators for electricity to recharge cell phones and the tracking devices they were required to wear.〔
