Abstract

The article discusses a method of addressing the increasing number of prisoners by returning rationality to criminal sentencing in Florida. The history of sentencing and corrections, including Florida's meteoric prison population growth is discussed. It is said that best solution to Florida's increasing need for money to build and operate more prisons is to return parity to the judicial branch so that it can operate equally with the executive and legislative branches.
