In December 2023, Florida spent $2.3 million on a report to develop a master plan for the state’s prison system. KPMG assessed the current state of Florida’s corrections system and outlined necessary improvements for the next 20 years. The report provided a clear roadmap to addressing the Department of Corrections’ most pressing challenges. Among the many solutions outlined, two priorities demand immediate attention: workforce shortages and facilities planning. Additionally, the state must leverage the expertise of independent professionals to implement these changes. A Criminal Justice Commission, modeled after those in Texas, Ohio, and Georgia, could serve as the mechanism to develop a sustainable long-term strategy.
