Whatever you do, get the hell out of Florida. DO NOT stay in Florida.

There is a very nice lady who posts here often who can tell you exactly what you need to do. Her son was in Federal prison for a crime allegedly committed in Florida, but her son was innocent. She moved to the Philadelphia area, set up a residence, and got her son moved directly from his prison in Florida to her residence in Pennsylvania. He was able to bypass Florida completely.

Her profile is here---

Her screen name is Nakohichi. She is a nice lady and a good poster. Send her a message and she will help. She might even get on our forum today or in a few days, see your message and message you here.

If for some reason, you cannot locate her to make contact, message me and I will find the post where she describes what she did to avoid Florida.

BTW, welcom to the board.



And, BTW, Oregon is one of the best states for registrants.

I know 1st hand get out of FL as soon as possible. I moved to Massachusetts. In FL i was treated like the dirt beneath their boots. I was discharged from jail in 2006 and put on house arrest. I moved to the trailer park in St Petersburg. I got violated for getting a cup of coffee from the racetrack. I had signed myself out to do laundry I still had a !/2 hour before I was to be home so I thought why not go and get the coffee. I was wrong WAY wrong. I was violated for it. Let me add here my crime took place in 2005 and not due to come off probation 2022. Many people have asked me why so long. It turned out my judge as a SO victim's advocate. I still think she should have excused herself in most states that miight be right but not FL have learn be right but NOT FL. I wasn't read my rights at any time I informed my lawyer of this and he saiid think all d doesn't matter they don't have to read me my rights. It would be the detective's word against mine and most SO 's have learned out word isn't worth anything. Your husband will have to be cleared by the received by the new state before he can leave. I still remember my PO there told me he got the ok by Massachusetts. So "how fast can I be out of there and be moving out of state. These are just a few problems I ran into through the FL court system.

Nsicl,

I don't know if your husband will have to use Interstate Compact to get his probation transferred from Florida to Oregon once he is out.

I cannot remember if Nak and her son used ISC or not, but she can tell you.

If Florida ever gets a person on the registry, they are there for life, even if you move out of the state. I have heard that a registrant is on the Florida registry even if he dies.

maisr is so right. Everyone here from Florida can probably tell you some horror stories about how sex offenders are treated in that state. Avoid Florida at all costs.

rew I had to use an ISC moving from FL to Massachusetts

Another matter I would like to add here. If your husband ever gets permission to use the computer he will have to submit all screen names matter where you might be I can't remember the site but I had to do this before I could use my pc.

Since the case is Federal you need to move and get any residence approved BEFORE he's released. That way he'll officially be released to Oregon instead of Florida and avoid any transfer problems. That's basically how Nakohichi was able to avoid a lot of problems and her son never had to deal directly with Florida.

Federal people don't have to do Interstate Compacts, they are for state custody to different state custody transfers but a federal defendant is never in state custody they are always in federal custody in a federal district and there is a similar process for transferring across federal districts. By moving and getting a residence approved before release a federal defendant can be directly released to that federal district and no transfer process has to happen

Do you know how long it would take me to get everything transferred so OR would be his permanent residence? I have 6 months from Tuesday to get everything done if we move. That's not a lot of time. I don't have a typical job (but would have no problem finding one, it's just I'm an independent contractor) and am currently the sole breadwinner so I am trying to figure it all out. I can sell my house and get some money. I just want what will best for our future. The more I research the scarier FL is.

I'm sorry, That didn't come out right. I meant...How long do I have to be in a new place as a resident in order to make it his permanent residency and how long is the process to change his residency?

Do not try to go from Fl to OR state to state. I was trying to get my guy up to Oregon where I had established residence for a couple of years and hoped to get him up there with me when he was paroled...didn't work. One Oregon parole supervisor (who was blocking the request) told me: We've already got enough of 'that kind" Once in OR, Oregon is OK and has a lot of services and groups available. I would suggest you find links to Cure in Oregon or some other organization and ask someone there if they can help/ advise how to help from that end also. (even someone on the ground to help find and 'approved' apartment and be there so you wouldn't feel so alone) In a way, as others have said here, you are lucky its Fed because then you (apparently) don't have to go through state interstate compacts but it's still is a pretty daunting task.
Six months is not really a very long time. What happens if you need a little longer? How long can he say in prison/ how long will they keep him before they revoke his parole (or do the Feds operate that way?)

Janetmackie: "Oregon Parole supervisor" wouldn't this only matter for State offences, not federal? He would have a federal PO not a state one. I should be able to sell my house and buy something there but was just curious if I couldn't make that work how the rentals work there. I am the kind that makes things happen so I know I can do it in 6 months if I have to. I just need the right information first. This is why I am here. Thanks for your input.

I was also looking at CO but OR seemed to have better laws re: registration. I could do CO also but I think we do need to get out of FL asap.

You are right I know absolutely about federal prison/ parole etc
