Comments on: Florida Department of Corrections Launches Compass 100 http://www.northescambia.com/2017/06/florida-department-of-corrections-launches-compass-100 Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sat, 18 Apr 2026 20:22:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Correction Education Works http://www.northescambia.com/2017/06/florida-department-of-corrections-launches-compass-100/comment-page-1#comment-350903 Correction Education Works Thu, 28 Sep 2017 00:40:37 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=288659#comment-350903 Worked on the team that developed Compass 100. Its not the same as the 100 Hour Transition. Of course it can be updated and become better, but it was a movement to improve programing for the incarcerated. The Division of Development: Improvement and Readiness are working towards increasing rehabilitation inside the gates and making inmates prepared for entering the workforce. I praise the initiative to improve the dynamics of Florida prisons and the strive to reducing recidivism. Trust me FDC does NOT want individuals to return and they will continue to move in a direction that support programing and job placement for those returning to communities. Also note that the program was developed by FDC employees that were not paid extra to work on the project. They did it because they wanted to improve their students chances of success.

And a captain ? I'll guess given the years active and rank........Miller ? At any rate, I entered into prison at age 16 in 1994. There was youthful offender @ Lake Butler although I'm not sure why I wasn't among them. I guess cause I was 6'4" 240lbs. At any rate think of the times then. I remained at Florida State Prison (FSP) on CM 1 from 1999 until my release in 2004. Cell phones, uh uh, I had a beeper. So the world was a shock especially after 5 years of solitary. There was no programs. Now I have a family and make good money, so convicts have no excuse to cry or fail. @Old Captain—-32 yes huh ? And a captain ?

I read the entire Compass 100 manual, and it is the same as the 100 hour Transition program that all inmates were mandated to attend within 6 months of release. Same thing, new name. Director of Development, Readiness and Improvement (formerly Office of Re-Entry) is just renaming things and trying to make it seem like a brand new idea. You may fool the public, but not the employees and certainly not the inmates. Working for FDC 32 years (Formerly FDOC, until political correctness changed it).
