					<description><![CDATA[Florida’s state lawmakers increasingly are embracing criminal justice reform policies that break with the state’s “tough on crime” past. But a sea change could be in the works. But a sea change could be in the works. Last year, Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, and the GOP-controlled legislature approved one of the most far-reaching civil asset forfeiture reforms in the country, repealed a 10-20-life mandatory minimum sentencing law, and expanded health care delivery for mentally ill inmates. Mental health advocates say&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[(Part two of two) In the first part of this article, I focused on the origins of the felon vote in Florida and the consequences it creates for both those convicted of a felony and on the Florida taxpayers. This part will focus on the various options concerning the felon vote. We know that over a quarter of all voters who have lost the franchise due to a felony conviction reside in Florida. We know that over 10 percent of&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[(First of two parts) Over a half-century ago, CBS News and journalist Edward R. Murrow aired a documentary about Florida&#8217;s migrant farmworkers called &#8220;Harvest of Shame.&#8221; Murrow documented the long hours and low wages of the migrant farmers, along with the poor health care, housing and education for the migrant families. A similar documentary could be done today focusing on the shame of Florida&#8217;s criminal justice policies that makes many crimes felonies that other states consider misdemeanors. As a result&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A man known as a &#8220;prison Houdini&#8221; for a series of escapes might have his first legal exit thwarted after Florida&#8217;s parole commission voted Thursday to reconsider his upcoming release in a case that began 36 years ago when the then-teenager was convicted of stealing the very tools his father left him in a will. If parole is rescinded, Mark DeFriest, 55, faces the possibility of dying in prison in a case his advocates say is a prime example of&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Today on Context Florida: Madeline Albright and Gloria Steinem need to stop obsessing about young women who won&#8217;t vote for Hillary Clinton, says Martin Dyckman. There&#8217;s a better use for their time and energy if they want her to be elected president. That&#8217;s to take Clinton by the shoulders, shake her until her teeth rattle, and scream into her ear, &#8220;Who do you think you are? Marie Antoinette?&#8221; But here&#8217;s what Clinton did say when asked why she took $675,000 from&#8230;]]></description>
