Sentencing outcomes by charge category
The highest-volume charge categories in Suwannee County. “Median confinement (when incarcerated)” is the typical maximum term among only the charges in that category that resulted in custody — so where the incarceration rate is low, that median describes a small subset of the category's charges, not a typical outcome for the category as a whole. It reads “—” where fewer than 10 charges in that category were incarcerated, or where the category's incarceration rate is too low for the median to be representative.

Methodology & limitations
- Source: public Florida FDLE Criminal Justice Data Transparency (CJDT) Clerk-of-Court case data, grouped by county and FDLE statute-chapter grouping. Snapshot: 2026-06-21. Every figure is reproducible from a published script against the source data.
- Median confinement: median maximum confinement term, in days, among charges that resulted in custody; reported only where at least 10 such charges exist. Charge categories with fewer than 10 charges overall are omitted.
- No judge dimension: the source data contains no judge identifier. Nothing here describes how any individual judge sentences.
- What the data does NOT show: these figures describe recorded dispositions and do not control for criminal history, offense severity within a chapter, plea posture, or case facts. A category rate is a baseline, not a prediction for any specific case. This page reports aggregates only and identifies no individual.
