Work Release Post Orders

INTRODUCTION
The information included in this packet is to be used as a guide for training in the Work
Release Program. It is a list of the basic tasks, functions and procedures for operating the
equipment identified. The Field Training Officer will have the trainee read all material as well as
the Corrections Operating Procedures that are relevant to this post Additionally, the F.T.O. will
explain and demonstrate to the trainee the operation of all equipment, to include tasks and
proper procedures. The trainee will then demonstrate their proficiency of the assigned tasks.

of training in this area. All forms will be reviewed and signed off by the shift Lieutenant,
Sergeant, F.T.O. and trainee.

Use of Committed Name.
(1)(a) In order to avoid conflicts in
mailing and visiting privileges, as well as
to assist inmates in making bank and canteen
transactions and ensure timely delivery of
legal documents, and to provide staff with a
consistent means of inmate identification for
security and daily institutional operation
purposes, each inmate shall be recognized by
the department under the name on the initial
commitment
under
which
the
inmate
was
received.
The
committed
name
shall
be
obtained from the information or indictment
page of the commitment package, not from the
uniform commitment to custody cover sheet.
For multiple cases imposed on separate dates,
the committed name is the name on the
information page of the commitment of the
earliest imposed case.
For multiple cases
imposed on the same date, commitments are
arranged
according
to
service
of
the
sentences or sequential order as directed by
the sentencing court and the committed name
is the name on the information page of the
first imposed case as so designated.
For
multiple cages imposed on the same date where
the order of sentencing cannot be determined,
the cases are arranged numerically and the
committed name is the name on the information
page of the commitment with the lowest case
number. This name shall be the inmate's
official
identification
throughout
the
continuous incarceration of the inmate on
that sentence or combined sentences and must
be included on any official document sent or
received by the inmate except as provided in
(3) below.
(b)
The department shall register
any known aliases on the inmate's record and
shall also designate on the record which name
is the inmate's true or legal name if this
information is available. If an inmate's true
or legal name is not the committed name, the
inmate shall be permitted to use the true or
legal name on documents and mall so long as
the committed name and DC number appear
first, followed by the true or legal name.
(c)
Legal Religious Names.
1.
Upon request of an inmate to
include a legal religious name to the inmate
identification card, the warden or facility
head shall forward the request and supporting
documentation to the Office of the General
Counsel for verification that the inmate's
name has been legally changed for religious
reasons
through
court
order,
birth
certificate
or other
legally
acceptable
documentation.
When
verification
is
complete, the office of the General Counsel
shall notify the warden or facility head in
writing.
2.
The institution or facility
shall affix a label to the reverse side of
the inmate identification card which bears
the following:
This is to certify that
the legal
religious name of inmate DCM
is
(INSERT LEGAL RELIGIOUS NAME)
(Signature) warden or Facility Head, Name
of Facility
3.
A legal religious name change
does not require that the department alter
official records; the inmate's committed name
shall be used for all department business.
(d)
Nothing in this rule prohibits
issuance of an educational or vocational
certificate in the inmate's true or legal
name providing that the office issuing such
certificate provides a photocopy of
the
certificate to be placed in the inmate's
institutional
file
and
such
copy
also
reflects the inmate's committed name and
identification number.
(2)
Incoming and
outgoing
mail
shall be processed in accordance with rule
33-210.101 and 33-210.102.
603-1
EFTA00188502
CHAPTER 33-603
(3)
An inmate who has litigation
pending which was filed under a name other
than the official name shall be responsible
for notifying the institution or facility
mailroom in writing of the name under which
litigation is pending.
Incoming legal mail
addressed to an inmate under a name other
than the official committed name shall be
forwarded to the inmate if the inmate has
notified
the
mailroom of
pending
legal
actions under this name.
If there is no
record of ouch notification by the inmate,
the
mailroom
shall
request
that
the
appropriate institutional office check the
offender
information
for
system
identification of the addressee.
If such
effort fails to reveal proper identification,
the mail shell be returned to the sender with
appropriate notations that
the addressee
could not be identified.
(4)
An inmate who desires to have
a document or documents notarized under a
name other than the official committed name
shall
advise
the
notarizing
officer
in
writing at least three working days prior to
requesting such notarization.
The notice
shall specify the name under which the inmate
plans to sign.
The notary shall review the
inmate's record to confirm that the name is a
true or legal name or a known alias.
If
there is no record of the name in the
institutional file, or the inmate cannot
provide identification or documentation that
the name is either his or her true or legal
name, or that there is a legal action pending
involving the inmate under such name, the
officer shall not notarize the signature.
Following production of such identification
or documentation, the notary shall notarize
the document and indicate the manner by which
the inmate was identified. If the inmate has
obtained a legal religious name change and
wishes to have documents notarized under this
name, the legal religious name affixed to an
inmate
identification
card
shall
be
sufficient for purposes of provision of
notary services unless there is a reason to
believe that the information has been forged
or altered.

or pose a security risk; however, there shall
be an adequate number of officer escorts to
provide appropriate supervision.
(14)
Standard restraint equipment
for the normal situation will be handcuffs
and
a
restraint
chain.
Except
as

are
extreme
escape
risks,
inmates
with
serious assaultive tendencies, or any inmate

risk.
Being
legally
responsible for the custody of inmates, the
transfer officer in charge has the authority
to apply restraints to community custody
inmates and additional restraints to medium
or minimum custody inmates when he or she
determines that such is necessary to ensure
security.
(a)
When inmates are transferred
within the state from one secure perimeter to
another secure perimeter and a specially

may be restrained with leg irons only. Death
row, close management, and high-risk inmates
will require restraints as noted in (10)
above during any transport.
(b)
Each medium custody inmate who
is not being transferred from one secure
perimeter to another secure perimeter in a
specially designed secure transfer bus shall
be restrained with a minimum of handcuffs.

to a Reception Center annex that is not
separated by property not belonging to the
Department of Corrections.
(d)
During
any
transport,
the
level
of
restraints
applied
will
be
commensurate with the highest custody grade
being transported.
(e)
During prenatal and postpartum
periods,
female
inmates
will
not
be
restrained with their hands behind the beck
nor will leg irons be utilized due to the
possibility of a fall. Waist chains with the
C&S handcuff cover (black box) will not be
worn when there is any danger of causing harm
to the inmate or fetus.
(f)
Female
inmates,
when
being

security staff the use of the belt is
warranted. Prior to usage of the Electronic
Restraint Belt, written, signed approval must
be obtained from the Office of Institutions,
Bureau Chief of Security Operations.
(16)
Because
the
carrying
of
firearms in the transferring of inmates is
extremely hazardous, in those instances where
it is advisable for firearms to be carried,
such equipment must be kept in a secure place
or on the person of an officer who will not
603-4
EFTA00188505
CHAPTER 33-603
come in direct contact with an inmate during
the entire trip. Firearms shall not
be
carried by any of the escorting officers
while in a car, plane or train unless the
inmate is securely restrained and positive
precautionary measures have been taken that
will preclude contact between inmates and the
armed officer.
Use of firearms shall be in
accordance with Rule 33-602.210, F.A.C.
(17)
If an inmate escapes while
being transferred, the transfer officer shall
exhaust all resources immediately available
to him in apprehending the inmate and then
take immediate action to contact the nearest
law enforcement agency. As soon as possible,
the
transfer
officer
shall
notify
his
supervisor of the escape and give an oral
report of the incident.

solely on the department's warrant.
In such
instances, credit shall be allowed from the
date of disposition of local charges.

12. Plea or Trial
•
Check whether the adjudication of the offenses
at conviction was obtained by plea or trial. If
convictions were obtained by both plea and
trial, enter a check mark in the trial field.
13. Primary Offense
"Primary offense" means the offense at
conviction pending before the court for sentencing
for which the total sentence points recommend a
sanction that is as severe as, or more severe than,
the sanction recommended for any other offense
committed by the offender and pending before the
court at sentencing. Only one count of one offense
before the court for sentencing shall be classified
as the primary offense.
All other offenses,
including multiple counts of the same offense
scored as the primary offense, are to be listed as
additional offenses.
The primary may be an
offense ranked at a lower severity level than other
offenses before the court for sentencing due to the
operation of multipliers for drug trafficking,
grand theft motor vehicle (with the requisite prior
record) violations of the Law Enforcement
Protection Act, Street Gang and Domestic
Violence. The Felony Degree, Florida Statute,
Description and Offense Level shall be recorded
in the appropriate field of Section I. The points
assigned to the severity level of the offense are
entered in the space indicated on the scoresheet.
An offense before the court as a result of a finding
of violation of a community sanction is the
primary offense
if the original charge total
sentence points recommend a sanction that is as
severe as, or more severe than, the sanction
recommended for any other offense committed by
the offender and pending before the court at
sentencing under any single version of the
guidelines,
revision
of
the
guidelines
or
punishment code. This is in accordance with
sections 775.082 (8), 921.0021(1), 921.0021(4) and
921.0024(3), Florida Statutes.
9
Prior Capital Felony Points/Primary Offense
if the offender has one or more prior
capital felonies in the offender's criminal record,
points shall be added to the subtotal sentence
points of the offender equal to twice the number of
points the offender receives for the primary
offense. This is recorded by checking the box in
Section I and multiplying the Section I subtotal by
3 (three).
A prior capital felony in the offender's
criminal record is a previous capital felony offense
for which the offender has entered a plea of nolo
contendre or guilty or has been found guilty, or a
felony in another jurisdiction which is a capital
felony in that jurisdiction, or would be a capital
felony if the offense were committed in this state.
14. Additional Offenses
Additional offense means any offense other
than the primary offense for which an offender is
convicted and which is pending before the court
for sentencing at the time of the primary offense.
The severity level of each additional offense must
be known in order to score it. Multiple counts of
the same offense can be listed on a single line with
the points indicated for that severity level
multiplied by the number of counts. The resulting
points are recorded in the fields in the right hand
column. Misdemeanors are scored at the level
"M" regardless of degree. A supplemental page is
available for additional offenses if the available
lines are not sufficient for all additional offenses.
An offense before the court as a result of a
finding of violation of a community sanction is an
additional offense if the original charge total
sentence points do not recommend a sanction that
is as severe as, or more severe than, the sanction
recommended for any other offense committed by
the offender and pending before the court at
EFTA00188512
sentencing under any single version of the
guidelines,
revision
of
the
guidelines
or
punishment code. This is in accordance with
sections 775.082 (8), 921.0021(1), 921.0021(4) and
921.0024(3), Florida Statutes.
Prior Capital Felony Points /
Additional Offense
If the offender has one or more prior
capital felonies in the offender's criminal record,
points shall be added to the subtotal sentence
points of the offender equal to twice the number of
points the offender receives for the additional
offense(s). This is calculated by checking the box
in Section If and multiplying the Section II
subtotal by 3 (three).
A prior capital felony in the offender's
criminal record is a previous capital felony offense
for which the offender has entered a plea of nolo
contendre or guilty or has been found guilty; or a
felony in another jurisdiction which is a capital
felony in that jurisdiction, or would be a capital
felony if the offense were committed in this state.
Prior capital felonies shall not be scored in the
prior record section.
15. Attempts, Conspiracies, Solicitations and
Reclassifications
Criminal attempts, criminal solicitations
and criminal conspiracies are generally scored one
level below the severity level of the completed
offense. Where a criminal attempt, solicitation or
conspiracy is separately ranked in section
921.0022, Florida Statutes, the severity level at
which the inchoate offense is placed is the basis
for scoring. Where the inchoate version of an
offense is required to be punished as if the
offender had committed the prohibited act, score
it at the same level as the completed crime.
Conspiracy to commit drug trafficking under
section 893.135(5), Florida Statutes, or conspiring
10
to commit bookmaking under section 849.25(4),
Florida Statutes, or attempting, soliciting or
conspiring to kill or commit aggravated abuse
upon registered horses or cattle 828.125(2),
Florida Statutes, are examples of legislative intent
to punish the inchoate versions of an offense the
same as the completed offense. Unless specifically
provided
otherwise
by
statute,
attempts,
conspiracies, and solicitations must be indicated in
the space provided on the Criminal Punishment
Code scoresheet and must be scored at one
severity level below the completed offense.
Attempts, solicitations, and conspiracies of
third-degree felonies located in offense severity
levels 1 and 2 must be scored as misdemeanors.
Attempts, solicitations, and conspiracies of third-
degree felonies located in offense severity levels 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 must be scored as felonies
one offense level beneath the incomplete or
inchoate offense.
16. Victim Injury
"Victim injury" is scored for physical
injury or death suffered by a person as a direct
result of any offense pending before the court for
sentencing. Except as otherwise provided by law
(section 921.0021(7) (c) (d), Florida Statutes) the
sexual penetration and sexual contact points will
be scored as follows. Sexual penetration points
(80) are scored if an offense pending before the
court for sentencing involves sexual penetration.
Sexual contact points (40) are scored if an offense
pending before the court for sentencing involves
sexual contact, but no penetration. If the victim of
an offense involving sexual penetration or sexual
contact without penetration suffers any physical
injury as a direct result of an offense pending
before the court for sentencing, that physical
injury must be scored separately and in addition
to any points scored for the sexual contact or
sexual penetration.
Victim injury must be scored for each
EFTA00188513
victim physically injured and for each offense
resulting in physical injury whether there are one
or more victims. Multiple assessments of the same
level of victim injury may be scored by
multiplying the appropriate level of injury by the
number of counts seoreable.
However, victim
injury must not be scored for an offense for which
the offender has not been convicted.
If the offense at conviction is a second
degree murder, 240 points are to be scored for the
death. All other deaths are to receive 120 points as
victim injury.
Victim injury resulting from one or more
capital offenses before the court for sentencing
must not be included upon any scoresheet
prepared for non-capital offenses also pending
before the court for sentencing. This does not
prohibit the scoring of victim injury as a result of
the non-capital offense or offenses before the
court for sentencing.
17. Prior Record
"Prior record" refers to any conviction for
an offense committed by the offender prior to the
commission of the primary offense. "Conviction"
means a determination of guilt that is the result of
a plea or trial, regardless of whether adjudication
is withheld.
Prior record includes convictions for
offenses committed by the offender as an adult or
juvenile, convictions by federal, out of state,
military, or foreign courts and convictions for
violations of county or municipal ordinances that
incorporate by reference a penalty under state
law.
Federal, out of state, military or foreign
convictions are scored at the severity level at
which the analogous or parallel Florida crime is
located. The elements of an out-of-state offense
are to be the sole consideration for determining an
analogous crime
11
Convictions for offenses committed more than 10
years before the date of the commission of the
primary offense must not be scored as prior
record if the offender has not been convicted of
any other crime for a period of 10 consecutive
years from the most recent date of release from
confinement, supervision, or other sanction,
whichever is later, to the date of the commission of
the primary offense.
Juvenile dispositions of offenses committed by the
offender within 5 years before the date of the
commission of the primary offense must be scored
as prior record if the offense would have been a
crime if committed by an adult.
Juvenile
dispositions of sexual offenses committed by the
offender more than 5 years before the date of the
primary offense must be scored as prior record if
the offender has not maintained a conviction-free
record, either as an adult or as a juvenile, for a
period of 5 consecutive years from the most recent
date of release from confinement, supervision, or
sanction, whichever is later, to the date of
commission of the primary offense.
Entries in criminal histories that show no
disposition, disposition unknown, arrest only, or a
disposition other than conviction must not be
scored. Criminal history records expunged or
sealed under section 943.058, Florida Statutes, or
other provisions of law, including former sections
893.14 and 901.33, Florida Statutes, must be
scored as prior record where the offender whose
record has been expunged or sealed is before the
court for sentencing.
Any uncertainty in the scoring of the offender's
prior record must be resolved in favor of the
offender and disagreement as to the propriety of
scoring specific entries in the prior record must be
resolved by the sentencing judge.
When unable to determine whether the conviction
to be scored as prior record is a felony or a
misdemeanor, the conviction must be scored as a
EFTA00188514
misdemeanor.
When the degree of felony is
ambiguous or the severity level cannot be
determined, the conviction must be scored at
severity level I.
18. Legal Status Violations
"Legal status points" are assessed when an
offender:
Escapes from incarceration; flees to avoid
prosecution; fails to appear for a criminal
proceeding;
violates
any
condition
of
a
supersedeas bond; is incarcerated; is under any
form of a pretrial intervention or diversion
program; or is under any form of court-imposed
or post-prison release community supervision and
commits an offense that results in conviction.
Legal status violations receive a score of 4
sentence points and are scored when the offense
committed while under legal status is before the
court for sentencing. Points for a legal status
violation must only be assessed once regardless of
the existence of more than one form of legal status
at the time an offense is committed or the number
of offenses committed while under any form of
legal status.
19. Violating the Conditions of a Community
Sanction
Community sanction violation points occur
when the offender is found to have violated one or
more conditions of a community sanction.
Community
sanctions
include
probation,
community control or pretrial intervention or
diversion.
Community sanction violation points are
assessed when a community sanction violation is
before the court for sentencing as a primary or
additional offense.
Six community sanction
violation points must be assessed for each
violation or if the violation results from a new
12
felony
conviction,
12
community
sanction
violation points must be assessed. Where there
are multiple violations, points may be assessed
only for each successive violation that follows a
continuation of supervision, or modification or
revocation of the community sanction before the
court for sentencing and are not to be assessed for
violation of several conditions of a single
community
sanction.
Multiple
counts of
community
sanction
violations
before
the
sentencing court may not be the basis for
multiplying the assessment of community sanction
violation points.
20. Prior Serious Felony Points
A single assessment of thirty prior serious
felony points is added if the offender has a
primary offense or any additional offense ranked
in level 8, 9, or 10 (under sections 921.0022 or
921.0023, Florida Statutes) and one or more prior
serious felonies. A "prior serious felony" is an
offense in the offender's prior record ranked in
level 8, 9, or 10 and for which the offender is
serving a sentence of confinement, supervision or
other sanction or for which the offender's date of
release from confinement, supervision, or other
sanction, whichever is later, is within 3 years
before the date the primary offense or any
additional offenses were committed. Out of state
convictions wherein the analogous or parallel
Florida offenses are located in offense severity
level 8, 9, or 10 must be considered prior serious
felonies.
Possession of a Firearm, Semiautomatic Weapon
or Machine Gun
Possession of a firearm, semiautomatic firearm, or
a machine gun during the commission or attempt
to commit a crime will result in additional
sentence points.
Eighteen sentence points are
assessed if the offender is convicted of committing
or attempting to commit any felony other than
those enumerated in subsection
775.087(2),
EFTA00188515
Florida Statutes, while having in his or her
possession a firearm as defined in subsection
790.001(6), Florida Statutes. Twenty-five sentence
points are assessed if the offender is convicted of
committing or attempting to commit any felony
other than those enumerated in subsection
775.087(3), Florida Statutes, while having in his or
her possession a semiautomatic firearm as defined
in subsection 775.087(3), Florida Statutes, or a
machine gun as defined in subsection 790.001(9),
Florida Statutes. Only one assessment of either 18
or 25 points can be made.
Firearm points may not be assessed where the
possession of the firearm is necessary in order for
the underlying felony to exist. In other words, if
the offense is possession of a firearm by a
convicted felon or carrying a concealed firearm,
the additional points should not be assessed. Also,
if the offense is one of those enumerated in section
775.087 (2) or (3), Florida Statutes, firearm points
may not be assessed.
21. Subtotal Sentence Points
"Subtotal sentence points" are the sum of
the primary offense points, the total additional
offense points, the total victim injury points, the
total prior record points, any legal status points,
community sanction points, prior serious felony
points, prior capital felony points and points for
possession of a firearm or semiautomatic weapon.
22. Sentencing Enhancements
If the primary offense is drug trafficking
under section 893.135, Florida Statutes, ranked in
offense severity level 7 or 8, the subtotal sentence
points may be multiplied, at the discretion of the
sentencing court, by a factor of 1.5.
If the primary offense is a violation of the Law
Enforcement Protection Act under subsections
775.0823(2),
Florida
Statutes,
the
subtotal
13
sentence points are multiplied by 2.5.
If the
primary offense is a violation of subsection
775.0823(3), (4), (5), (6), (7), or (8), Florida
Statutes, the subtotal sentence points are
multiplied by 2.0. If the primary offense is a
violation of the Law Enforcement Protection Act
under subsection 775.0823(9) or (10), Florida
Statutes, or section 784.07(3), Florida Statutes, or
section 775.0875(1), Florida Statutes, the subtotal
sentence points are multiplied by 1.5.
If the primary offense is grand theft of the third
degree of a motor vehicle and the offender's prior
record includes three or more grand thefts of the
third degree of a motor vehicle, the subtotal
sentence points are multiplied by 1.5.
If the Offender is convicted of the primary offense
and committed the offense for the purpose of
benefiting, promoting, or furthering the interests
of a criminal street gang under section 874.04,
Florida Statutes, of the commission of the primary
offense, the subtotal sentence points are multiplied
by 13.
If the primary offense is a crime of domestic
violence as defined in section 741.28, Florida
Statutes, which was committed in the presence of
a child under 16 years of age who is a family
household member as defined in section 741.28(2),
Florida Statutes, with the victim or perpetrator,
the subtotal sentence points are multiplied, at the
discretion of the court, by 1.5.
23. Total Sentence Points
"Total sentence points" are the subtotal
sentence points or the enhanced subtotal sentence
points. Do not add the subtotal sentence points
and the enhanced subtotal points to arrive at total
sentence points.
The lowest permissible sentence is the
minimum sentence that may be imposed by the
trial court, absent a valid reason for departure.
The lowest permissible sentence is any nonstate
EFTA00188516
prison sanction in which the total sentence points
equals or is less than 44 points, unless the court
determines within its discretion that a prison
sentence, which may be up to the statutory
maximums
for
the offenses committed,
is
appropriate.
When the total sentence points
exceed 44 points, the lowest permissible sentence
in
prison
months must be calculated
by
subtracting 28 points from the total sentence
points and decreasing the remaining total by 25
percent.
The total sentence points must be
calculated only as a means of determining the
lowest permissible sentence.
The permissible
range for sentencing must be the lowest
permissible sentence up to and including the
statutory maximum, as defined in section 775.082,
Florida Statutes, for the primary offense and any
additional
offenses
before
the
court
for
sentencing.
The sentencing court may impose
such sentences concurrently or consecutively.
However, any sentence to state prison must exceed
1 year. If the lowest permissible sentence under
the Code exceeds the statutory maximum sentence
as provided in section 775.082, Florida Statutes,
the sentence required by the Code must be
imposed. If the total sentence points are greater
than or equal to 363, the court may sentence the
offender to life imprisonment.
The sentence
imposed must be entered on the scoresheet.
24. Mandatory Minimum Sentence
For those offenses having a mandatory minimum
sentence, a scoresheet must be completed and the
lowest permissible sentence under the code
calculated. If the lowest permissible sentence is
less than the mandatory minimum sentence, the
mandatory minimum sentence takes precedence.
If the lowest permissible sentence exceeds the
mandatory sentence, the requirements of the
Criminal Punishment Code and any mandatory
minimum
penalties
will
apply. Mandatory
minimum sentences must be recorded on the
scoresheet.
25. Split Sentence
If a split sentence is imposed, the total sanction
(incarceration
and
community
control
or
probation) must not exceed the term provided by
general law or the maximum sentence under the
Criminal Punishment Code.
26. Revocation of Supervision
Sentences imposed after revocation of probation
or community control must be imposed pursuant
to the sentencing law applicable at the time of the
commission of the original offense.
27. Departures
Any downward departure from the lowest
permissible sentence, as calculated according to
the total sentence points pursuant to section
921.0024, Florida Statutes, is prohibited unless
there are circumstances or factors that reasonably
justify the downward departure.
Mitigating
circumstances or factors that can be considered
include, but are not limited to, those listed in
subsection 921.0026(2), Florida Statutes, and
attached in Appendix D.
If a sentencing judge imposes a sentence that is
below the lowest permissible sentence, it is a
departure sentence and must be accompanied by a
written statement by the sentencing court
delineating the reasons for the departure, filed
within 7 days after the date of sentencing.
A
written transcription of orally stated reasons for
departure articulated at the time sentence was
imposed is sufficient if it is filed by the court
within 7 days after the date of sentencing. The
sentencing Judge may also list the written reasons
for departure in the space provided on the
Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet.
14
EFTA00188517
The written statement delineating the reasons for
departure must be made a part of the record. The
written statement, if it is a separate document,
must accompany the scoresheet required to be
provided to the Department of Corrections
pursuant to section 921.0024(6), Florida Statutes.
The imposition of a sentence below the lowest
permissible sentence is subject to appellate review
under Chapter 924, but the extent of the
downward departure is not subject to appellate
review.

APPENDIX A
Rule 3.704 . The Criminal Punishment Code
(a)
Use. This Me is to be used in conjunction with the forms located at rule 3.992. This rule
implements the 1998 Criminal Punishment Code, in compliance with chapter 921, Florida Statutes. This rule
applies to offenses committed on or alter October 1, 1998, or as otherwise required by law.
(b)
Purpose and Construction. The purpose of the 1998 Criminal Punishment Code and the
principles it embodies are set out in subsection 921.002(1), Florida Statutes. Existing case law construing the
application of sentencing guidelines will continue as precedent unless in conflict with the provisions of this rule or
the 1998 Criminal Punishment Code.
(c)
Offense Severity Ranking.
(1)
Felony offenses subject to the 1998 Criminal Punishment Code are listed in a single offense
severity ranking chart located in section 921.0022, Florida Statutes. The offense severity ranking chart employs 10
offense levels, ranked from least severe to most severe. Each felony offense is assigned to a level according to the
severity of the offense, commensurate with the harm or potential for harm to the community that is caused by the
offense, as determined by statute. The numerical statutory reference in the left column of the chart and the felony
degree designations in the middle column of the chart determine whether felony offenses are specifically listed in
the offense severity ranking chart and the appropriate severity level. The language in the right column is merely
descriptive.
(2)
Felony offenses not listed in section 921.0022, Florida Statutes, are assigned a severity level in
accordance with section 921.0023, Florida Statutes, as follows:
(A)
A felony of the third degree within offense level 1.
(B)
A felony of the second degree within offense level 4.
(C)
A felony of the first degree within offense level 7.
(I))
A felony of the first degree punishable by life within offense level 9.
(E)
A life felony within offense level 10.
An offense does not become unlisted and subject to the provisions of section 921.0023, Florida Statutes, because
of a reclassification of the degree of felony under section 775.0845, section 775.087, section 775.0875 or section
794.023, Florida Statutes, or any other law that provides an enhanced penalty for a felony offense.
(d)
General Rules and Definitions.
(I)
One or more Criminal Punishment Code score-sheets must be prepared for each offender covering
16
EFTA00188519
all offenses pending before the court for sentencing, including offenses for which the offender may qualify as an
habitual felony offender, an habitual violent felony offender, a violent career criminal or a prison releasee
reoffender. The office of the state attorney must prepare the scoresheets and present them to defense counsel for
review for accuracy. If sentences are imposed under section 775.084 or section 775.082(9), Florida Statutes, and
the Criminal Punishment Code, a scoresheet listing only those offenses sentenced under the Criminal Punishment
Code must be filed in addition to any sentencing documents filed under sections 775.084, or 775.082(9), Florida
Statutes.
(2)
One scoresheet must be prepared for all offenses committed under any single version or revision of
the guidelines or Criminal Punishment Code pending before the court for sentencing.
(3)
If an offender is before the court for sentencing for more than one felony and the felonies were
committed under more than one version or revision of the guidelines or Criminal Punishment Code, separate
scoresheets must be prepared and used at sentencing.
The sentencing court may impose such sentence
concurrently or consecutively.
(4)
The sentencing judge must review the scoresheet for accuracy and sign it.
(5)
Felonies, except capital felonies, with continuing dates of enterprise are to be sentenced under the
guidelines or Criminal Punishment Code in effect on the beginning date of the criminal activity.
(6)
"Conviction" means a determination of guilt that is the result of a plea or trial, regardless of
whether adjudication is withheld.
(7)
"Primary offense" means the offense at conviction pending before the court for sentencing for
which the total sentence points recommend a sanction that is as severe as, or more severe than, the sanction
recommended for any other offense committed by the offender and pending before the court at sentencing. Only
one count of one offense before the court for sentencing shall be classified as the primary offense.
(8)
"Additional offense" means any offense other than the primary offense for which an offender is
convicted and which is pending before the court for sentencing at the time of the primary offense.
(9)
"Victim injury" is scored for physical injury or death suffered by a person as a direct result of any
offense pending before the court for sentencing. Except as otherwise provided by law, the sexual penetration and
sexual contact points will be scored as follows. Sexual penetration points are scored if an offense pending before
the court for sentencing involves sexual penetration. Sexual contact points are scored if an offense pending before
the court for sentencing involves sexual contact, but no penetration. If the victim of an offense involving sexual
penetration or sexual contact without penetration suffers any physical injury as a direct result of an offense
pending before the court for sentencing, that physical injury must be scored in addition to any points scored for the
sexual contact or sexual penetration.
Victim injury must be scored for each victim physically injured and for each offense resulting in physical
injury whether there are one or more victims. However, victim injury must not be scored for an offense for which
the offender has not been convicted.
Victim injury resulting from one or more capital offenses before the court for sentencing must not be
included upon any scoresheet prepared for non-capital offenses also pending before the court for sentencing. This
17
EFTA00188520
does not prohibit the scoring of victim injury as a result of the non-capital offense or offenses before the court for
sentencing.
(10)
Unless specifically provided otherwise by statute, attempts, conspiracies, and solicitations must be
indicated in the space provided on the Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet and must be scored at one severity
level below the completed offense.
Attempts, solicitations, and conspiracies of third-degree felonies located in offense severity levels 1 and 2
must be scored as misdemeanors. Attempts, solicitations, and conspiracies of third-degree felonies located in
offense severity levels 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 must be scored as felonies one offense level beneath the
incomplete or inchoate offense.
(11)
An increase in offense severity level may result from a reclassification of felony degrees under
sections 775.0845, 775.087, 775.0875, or 794.023, Florida Statutes. Any such increase must be indicated in the
space provided on the Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet.
(12)
A single assessment of thirty prior serious felony points is added if the offender has a primary
offense or any additional offense ranked in level 8, 9, or 10 and one or more prior serious felonies. A "prior
serious felony" is an offense in the offender's prior record ranked in level 8, 9, or 10 and for which the offender is
serving a sentence of confinement, supervision or other sanction or for which the offender's date of release from
confinement, supervision, or other sanction, whichever is later, is within 3 years before the date the primary
offense or any additional offenses were committed. Out of state convictions wherein the analogous or parallel
Florida offenses are located in offense severity level 8, 9, or 10 must be considered prior serious felonies.
(13)
If the offender has one or more prior capital felonies, points must be added to the subtotal sentence
points of the offender equal to twice the number of points the offender receives for the primary offense and any
additional offense. Out-of-state convictions wherein the analogous or parallel Florida offenses are capital offenses
and must be considered capital offenses for purposes of operation of this section.
(14)
"Prior record" refers to any conviction for an offense committed by the offender prior to the
commission of the primary offense. Prior record includes convictions for offenses committed by the offender as
an adult or as a juvenile, convictions by federal, out of state, military, or foreign courts and convictions for
violations of county or municipal ordinances that incorporate by reference a penalty under state law. Federal, out
of state, military or foreign convictions are scored at the severity level at which the analogous or parallel Florida
crime is located.
(A)
Convictions for offenses committed more than 10 years before the date of the commission of the
primary offense must not be scored as prior record if the offender has not been convicted of any other
crime for a period of 10 consecutive years from the most recent date of release from confinement,
supervision, or other sanction, whichever is later, to the date of the commission of the primary offense.
(B)
Juvenile dispositions of offenses committed by the offender within 5 years before the date of the
commission of the primary offense must be scored as prior record if the offense would have been a crime if
committed by an adult. Juvenile dispositions of sexual offenses committed by the offender more than 5
years before the date of the primary offense must be scored as prior record if the offender has not
maintained a conviction-free record, either as an adult or as a juvenile, for a period of 5 consecutive years
18
EFTA00188521
from the most recent date of release from confinement, supervision, or sanction, whichever is later, to the
date of commission of the primary offense.
(C)
Entries in criminal histories that show no disposition, disposition unknown, arrest only, or a
disposition other than conviction must not be scored. Criminal history records expunged or sealed under
section 943.058, Florida Statutes, or other provisions of law, including former sections 893.14 and 901.33,
Florida Statutes, must be scored as prior record where the offender whose record has been expunged or
sealed is before the court for sentencing.
(D)
Any uncertainty in the scoring of the offender's prior record must be resolved in favor of the
offender and disagreement as to the propriety of scoring specific entries in the prior record must be
resolved by the sentencing judge.
(E)
When unable to determine whether the conviction to be scored as prior record is a felony or a
misdemeanor, the conviction must be scored as a misdemeanor. When the degree of felony is ambiguous
or the severity level cannot be determined, the conviction must be scored at severity level 1.
(15)
"Legal status points" are assessed when an offender:
(A)
Escapes from incarceration;
(B)
Flees to avoid prosecution;
(C)
Fails to appear for a criminal proceeding;
(D)
Violates any condition of a supersedeas bond;
(E)
Is incarcerated;
(F)
Is under any form of a pretrial intervention or diversion program; or
(G)
Is under any form of court-imposed or post-prison release community supervision and
commits an offense that results in conviction. Legal status violations receive a score of 4 sentence
points and are scored when the offense committed while under legal status is before the court for
sentencing. Points for a legal status violation must only be assessed once regardless of the
existence of more than one form of legal status at the time an offense is committed or the number of
offenses committed while under any form of legal status.
(16)
Community sanction violation points occur when the offender is found to have violated a condition
of:
(A)
Probation;
(B)
Community Control; or
(C)
Pretrial intervention or diversion.
19
EFTA00188522
Community sanction violation points are assessed when a community sanction violation is before the court
for sentencing. Six community sanction violation points must be assessed for each violation or if the violation
results from a new felony conviction, 12 community sanction violation points must be assessed. Where there are
multiple violations, points may be assessed only for each successive violation that follows a continuation of
supervision, or modification or revocation of the community sanction before the court for sentencing and are not to
be assessed for violation of several conditions of a single community sanction. Multiple counts of community
sanction violations before the sentencing court may not be the basis for multiplying the assessment of community
sanction violation points.
(17)
Possession of a firearm, semiautomatic firearm, or a machine gun during the commission or attempt
to commit a crime will result in additional sentence points. Eighteen sentence points are assessed if the offender is
convicted of committing or attempting to commit any felony other than those enumerated in subsection
775.087(2), Florida Statutes, while having in his or her possession a firearm as defined in subsection 790.001(6),
Florida Statutes. Twenty-five sentence points are assessed if the offender is convicted of committing or attempting
to commit any felony other than those enumerated in subsection 775.087(3), Florida Statutes, while having in his
or her possession a semiautomatic firearm as defined in subsection 775.087(3), Florida Statutes, or a machine gun
as defined in subsection 790.001(9), Florida Statutes. Only one assessment of either 18 or 25 points can be made.
(18)
"Subtotal sentence points" are the sum of the primary offense points, the total additional offense
points, the total victim injury points, the total prior record points, any legal status points, community sanction
points, prior serious felony points, prior capital felony points and points for possession of a firearm or
semiautomatic weapon.
(19)
If the primary offense is drug trafficking under section 893.135, Florida Statutes, ranked in offense
severity level 7 or 8, the subtotal sentence points may be multiplied, at the discretion of the sentencing court, by a
factor of 1.5.
(20)
If the primary offense is a violation of the Law Enforcement Protection Act under subsections
775.0823(2), Florida Statutes, the subtotal sentence points are multiplied by a factor of 2.5. If the primary offense
is a violation of subsection 775.0823(3), (4), (5), (6), (7), or (8), Florida Statutes, the subtotal sentence points are
multiplied by a factor of 2.0. If the primary offense is a violation of the Law Enforcement Protection Act under
subsection 775.0823(9) or (10) or section 784.07(3), Florida Statutes, or section 775.0875(1), Florida Statutes, the
subtotal sentence points are multiplied by a factor of 1.5.
(21)
If the primary offense is grand theft of the third degree of a motor vehicle and the offender's prior
record includes three or more grand thefts of the third degree of a motor vehicle, the subtotal sentence points are
multiplied by 1.5.
(22)
If the offender is found to have committed the offense for the purpose of benefiting, promoting, or
furthering the interests of a criminal street gang under section 874.04, Florida Statutes, at the time of the
commission of the primary offense, the subtotal sentence points are multiplied by 1.5.
(23)
If the primary offense is a crime of domestic violence as defined in section 741.28, Florida Statutes,
which was committed in the presence of a child under 16 years of age who is a family household member as
defined in section 741.28(2), Florida Statutes, with the victim or perpetrator, the subtotal sentence points are
multiplied, at the discretion of the court, by 1.5.
20
EFTA00188523
(24)
"Total sentence points" are the subtotal sentence points or the enhanced subtotal sentence points.
(25)
The lowest permissible sentence is the minimum sentence that may be imposed by the trial court,
absent a valid reason for departure. The lowest permissible sentence is any nonstate prison sanction in which the
total sentence points equals or is less than 44 points, unless the court determines within its discretion that a prison
sentence, which may be up to the statutory maximums for the offenses committed, is appropriate. When the total
sentence points exceeds 44 points, the lowest permissible sentence in prison months must be calculated by
subtracting 28 points from the total sentence points and decreasing the remaining total by 25 percent. The total
sentence points must be calculated only as a means of determining the lowest permissible sentence. The
permissible range for sentencing must be the lowest permissible sentence up to and including the statutory
maximum, as defined in section 775.082, Florida Statutes, for the primary offense and any additional offenses
before the court for sentencing. The sentencing court may impose such sentences concurrently or consecutively.
However, any sentence to state prison must exceed 1 year. If the lowest permissible sentence under the Code
exceeds the statutory maximum sentence as provided in section 775.082, Florida Statutes, the sentence required by
the Code must be imposed. If the total sentence points are greater than or equal to 363, the court may sentence the
offender to life imprisonment. The sentence imposed must be entered on the scoresheet.
(26)
For those offenses having a mandatory minimum sentence, a scoresheet must be completed and the
lowest permissible sentence under the Code calculated. If the lowest permissible sentence is less than the
mandatory minimum sentence, the mandatory minimum sentence takes precedence. If the lowest permissible
sentence exceeds the mandatory sentence, the requirements of the Criminal Punishment Code and any mandatory
minimum penalties apply.
Mandatory minimum sentences must be recorded on the score-sheet.
(27)
Any downward departure from the lowest permissible sentence, as calculated according to the total
sentence points under section 921.0024, Florida Statutes, is prohibited unless there are circumstances or factors
that reasonably justify the downward departure. Circumstances or factors that can be considered include, but are
not limited to, those listed in subsection 921.0026(2), Florida Statutes.
(A)
If a sentencing judge imposes a sentence that is below the lowest permissible sentence, it is a
departure sentence and must be accompanied by a written statement by the sentencing court delineating the
reasons for the departure, filed within 7 days after the date of sentencing. A written transcription of orally
stated reasons for departure articulated at the time sentence was imposed is sufficient if it is filed by the
court within 7 days after the date of sentencing. The sentencing judge may also list the written reasons for
departure in the space provided on the Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet.
(B)
The written statement delineating the reasons for departure must be made a part of the record. The
written statement, if it is a separate document, must accompany the scoresheet required to be provided to
the Department of Corrections under subsection 921.0024(6), Florida Statutes.
If a split sentence is imposed, the total sanction (incarceration and community control or probation) must
not exceed the term provided by general law or the maximum sentence under the Criminal Punishment Code.
(28)
Sentences imposed after revocation of probation or community control must be imposed according
to the sentencing law applicable at the time of the commission of the original offense.

APPENDIX C
Offense Severity Ranking Chart
Florida Criminal Punishment Code
Section 921.0022, Florida Statutes
Felony offenses subject to the 1998 Criminal Punishment Code are listed in a single offense
severity ranking chart located at section 921.0022, Florida Statutes. The offense severity
ranking chart employs 10 offense levels, ranked from least severe to most severe. Each felony
offense is assigned to a level according to the severity of the offense, commensurate with the
harm or potential for harm to the community that is caused by the offense, as determined by
statute. The numerical statutory reference in the left column of the chart and the felony degree
designations in the middle column of the chart determine whether felony offenses are
specifically listed in the offense severity ranking chart and the appropriate severity level. The
language in the right column is merely descriptive.
Felony offenses not listed in section 921.0022, Florida Statutes, are assigned a severity level in
accordance with section 921.0023, Florida Statutes, as follows:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(0 )
(E)
A felony of the third degree within offense level 1.
A felony of the second degree within offense level 4.
A felony of the first degree within offense level 7.
A felony of the first degree punishable by life within offense level 9.
A life felony within offense level 10.
An offense does not become unlisted and subject to the provisions of section 921.0023, Florida Statutes,
because of a reclassification of the degree of felony pursuant to section 775.0845, section 775.087, section
775.0875 or section 794.023, Florida Statutes, or any other law that provides an enhanced penalty for a
felony offense.
