Your Questions About Brevard County Jail

Nancy asks…
Please read and answer if you can..?
How long would someone stay in jail if they were being charged with domestic violence and being charged with failure to appear at community control (there was a warrant for his arrest) and he had that because of domestic violence so the 2nd domestic violence charges were dropped…
I live in brevard county (in florida) is there anywhere I can find out how long….? or could anyone tell me?

Larry answers:
I would strongly encourage you to call the District Attorney’s office. They can let you know the status of the case, what charges are pending, and any court dates you might need to attend (if you are the victim or a witness).
You can also call the National Domestic Violence Helpline (1-800-799-SAFE) for information about the programs closest to you. The link below is to the Women’s Center, which serves Brevard County.
If you were assaulted, please know that you can never do anything that would justify someone hurting you. You deserve better. Your partner is the only one who can change his behavior. Please consider seeking help to be safe.

I cant stop freaking out thinking I might go to jail. PLEASE HELP I will give a best answer ASAP. can someone tell me what is probably going to happen since this is my first offense and it was under 100 dollars. please help me guys I’m bugging out. Everyone I have talked to told me I would get fined, or get probabtion, but no jail time but I cant help but to think the worst. I mean all that fining and probabtion and classes sucks but I’ll take anything over jail! Whats going to happen guys??Please help me

Larry answers:
For a first offense, jail time is not likely. You are looking at a fine, court costs, restitution (which you already know about) and probably 8-16 hours of community service. It’s possible your record can be cleared after successful completion of said service if your court offers it.

Do you support Florida , Arizona-Style Immigration Laws ?
PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. –
Some leaders said they want Florida’s laws to be as tough as Arizona’s when it comes to immigration.
The issue came to light especially after the incident off the Florida coast this week.
On Thursday, the Coast Guard responded in Port Canaveral as a boatload of 17 Haitian Creole speakers 15 miles offshore tried to come to Florida, before running out of fuel and calling for help.
Despite their dire condition, the Coast Guard did not allow them to come ashore, which is the procedure for illegal immigrants, although the Coast Guard has not identified the group as such.
“We’re under attack here on the beaches, where, under the cover of darkness, thousands of foreigners come ashore illegally,” said Rep. Ritch Workman, of Brevard County.
Other lawmakers feel similarly, which is why an Arizona-style immigration bill could be in place in Florida before the end of the year.
The Coast Guard constantly patrols for illegal immigrants, but thousands get through, and an estimated 800,000 are living in Florida.
Workman said it’s time for Florida to crack down the way Arizona has.
“We shouldn’t have to pay $3 billion for illegal immigrants,” he said.
Police would have the right to check anyone they stop for their immigration status.
“If you can’t prove who you are, you’ll have to sort it out in jail,” Workman said.
Voter Robert DuPree said the measure sounds un-American.
“We should encourage immigration; it’s good for America,” he said.
Workman’s proposal has strong support, as well as strong opposition. He said if a special session is called this year, he believes the Legislature will pass it.
