Visitation Policies in the state of Florida need revision. Immediate family members are denied visitation due to a misdemeanor probation period, (such as, DUI) and are not allowed visits until one year following expiration of probationary period. However, the correctional officers that staff and supervise our family members are only disqualified from potential employment due to a "felony or misdemeanor of domestic abuse, drugs, or perjury." See the link for employment candidates for the state of Florida correctional officers, http://www.fldocjobs.com/paths/co/qualifications.html. Please sign the petition to revise the current visitation approval to revise the policy of a one year waiting period.
STOP abusing families! My dear God, what else do the family members need but abuse from the system?

The FL DOC Mission statement & Goals, speak to the inmate going back to society as a better person. Yet the policiies & practices while incarcerated work towards destruction of families, person & positivity.

I think that is ridiculious....family shiuld have the ability to see their loved ones regardless of what tgey have been charged with or how long its been. I say as long as rheyvdont have a warrant out for their arrest then by all means you should be able to visit with your loved ones. I had an experience with COs over stepping their boundries, I recently went to visit my fiance and because a lady asked me a question and I answered with my honest opinion on the way a CO was he called me over to where he was standing and asked for my slip....tge lady asked why is he not letting that poor man in afrer he made him take his jacket sweater and belt to his car. I said because although the CO has a bad attitude the gentleman shouldnt of thrown his come on the floor, but it is underatandable he was fustrated with the attitude and behavior of this CO....I then stated that when u act out and give them what they want they will push their power ...they treat us the visitors as inmates and always try to talk down at us and yell like we have commited some crime.
