What renders today: the Florida sources of truth and an honest scope note on each. What is withheld: any charge-conditioned distribution, until OBIS and the scoresheet criminal-history microdata are ingested.
- 01.
The tools that productize state sentencing comparables today are paid and single-state — Florida practitioners have no free, per-case, source-cited option.
- 02.
OBIS is a raw monthly bulk extract, not a charge-conditioned exhibit — conditioning it on offense and criminal-history is exactly the work a defender has no time for.
- 03.
Every row cites its Florida public source (OBIS or the s. 921.0024 scoresheet); where the microdata is not yet ingested, the exhibit says so instead of guessing.

What is this?
A source-gated preview of Florida (state) sentencing comparables. Today it points to the Florida public sources of truth — the FL DOC OBIS public-records extract and the s. 921.0024 digitized Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet — with an honest note on what each source does and does not cover. A charge-conditioned distribution is not yet produced.
Where does the data come from?
The Florida Department of Corrections OBIS public-records database (offenses and incarceration history for felony offenders sentenced to state prison or state supervision, downloadable in Excel and updated monthly) and the Criminal Punishment Code digitized scoresheet mandated by Fla. Stat. s. 921.0024, which carries the Prior Record Score criminal-history microdata. Every row on this page links to its Florida public source.
Does it give me a sentence distribution or a number for my client?
Not yet, and it never guesses. OBIS covers offenders sentenced to state prison or state supervision — it excludes county jail, county probation, and other forms of supervision — so any OBIS-derived distribution is a truncated, severity-biased sample, not the full sentencing picture for a charge. The criminal-history band also needs the scoresheet microdata, which is pending a public-records request. Until that data is ingested, the preview shows sources and scope, not a computed distribution.
Why start with Florida?
Florida is one of the few states that publishes its DOC prison and state-supervision disposition records free and public through OBIS. That is not the full disposition picture — county jail and county probation are excluded — but it is enough of the state record to build a per-case, source-cited exhibit on. The only tools that productize state comparables today are paid and single-state.
