Project Description

#VisitFL: – The Prison State!

We have begun a new campaign to let folks know about all of the wonderful things going on in Florida. You can see some tweets and images below that you can share, and find out more at dreamdefenders.org/visitFL.
(we’ve even created a map of all of the privately owned detention facilities in Florida for your viewing convenience!)

Real people from all over Florida contributed to this video. This is the Community 2014 State of the State Report.
