I have just found out that if I cannot find housing for him prior to his release in a couple of weeks, he will be turned out into the streets and become a homeless person! My/his home is inside the 1000 feet restricted area. Because of this I face having my son homeless and living under a bridge…or worse! This is completely unacceptable! We already have too many unfortunate persons in the homeless situation but because of the well meaning knee-jerk rulings he will be forced to join the ranks, His children have forgiven him. Can I do any less? My heart still aches from all the pain this has caused but he has paid his debt, his children victims have forgiven him and he will continue to pay for his actions the rest of his life because of the label he will carry to his grave. This matter simply MUST be addressed and made more humane in its punishments and the release conditions amended to a more livable level. .

They research each application, forward to their Investigation team and then vote. Their recommendation is handed to the Governor. This process takes many years and the wait list in Florida is huge. Commuting death sentences is first priority. I have not yet heard of a sex crime conviction being fully pardened. Although civil righfs are being restored every day to felons. The clemency board works independently from the Office of the Governor.

We want registrants to pay forever without the only power we as citizens have., our vote is our voice. Every American should be outraged by this, are you next?
