     If it seems like we are behind other states in our criminal justice and prison system, it's because we are.  One of the reasons we are is because we need help educating the public and spreading the word about our broken system and how we can make it better.

    Back To School Success!!!

    Florida Cares Presents: MLK Day of Action

    A HUGE thank you to all of you for your help in providing back to school back packs to 222 children of the incarcerated and making a positive impact on these families and their children. We've also received numerous thank you calls from the guardians.  This would not have been possible without all of you!!!

    Another HUGE thank you goes to Laurette Philipsen for her tireless efforts on this project and to Catherine Ragonese who spent an entire day packing up each backpack and stuffing them with school supplies. 

    An article was also written about the Back To School Drive, which in return brought in donations from the Hillsborough County Firefighters! 

    We look forward to doubling the number of children next year as we continue to improve the lives of the incarcerated!

      Senator Brandes once said that criminal justice reform hasn’t happened in Florida because people haven’t presented it to be important to the legislator.  Now is the time to act!
