Stop this new FDOC rule
| FROM Florida Campaign for Criminal Justice Reform
We need help stopping a new rule that would prevent lawyers from arranging legal calls with people who are incarcerated unless they already represent them. Proposed by the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC), this rule will make it difficult or impossible for individuals who are currently incarcerated to consult with lawyers. For instance:

It is a catch 22.
They themselves. Make unjust laws, yet they themselves are exempt from.them? How?
Last time I called into conference call, a woman called in and acted like me, gave my own story as hers and planes flew way low overhead so I couldnt be heard or hear much else. If you want my comments. Come find me

I’m pretty sure those are three reasons why the rule was proposed. Though they’ll never admit it, ensuring under-representation at one’s criminal proceedings is another.
I’m not a Florida resident, but I will take action as well. Its a constitutional right to be able to speak with an attorney.
These blatant violations of rights need to stop.
Maybe it qoukdnt be a good idea. A person can never have to much representation. Can they?
I wonder how the Department would like it when they do wrong and can’t communicate with representation regardless if they are obtained or not. Talk about another violation of civil rights. Nice going Florida you can’t be anymore embarrassing!!
Maybe someone should contact the bar association or some type of lawyer organization I’m sure a lost path of revenue would interest the organization,,,
So, if you are convinced and your attorney was a Public Pretender and you fired him prior to filing an appeal on your conviction then this new rule would bar your appellate council from contacting you??? I believe that this would rise to the level of due process violations under the Florida and United States Constitutions.

Of course I am referring to the possibility that the FDOC will merely state that the appellate counsel was not representing the convicted person at the time of conviction and sentencing. I mean we are talking about the State if Floriduh here!
