In Re: Randy Ross Case No.,: FEC 11-300 I

STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION

Pursuant to Section 106 25(4)(c), Florida Statutes, undersigned staff counsel files this written recommendation for disposition of the complaint in this case recommending that there is probable cause to chatge Respondent with violating Sections 106.143(1)(a), and 106 . .143(3), Florida Statutes. Based upon a thorough review of the Report of Investigation submitted on February 9, 2012, the following facts and law support this staff recommendation:

I On December 30, 2011, the Florida Elections Commission ("Commission") received a sworn complaint fiom Stephen L.. Rayle ("Complainant"), alleging that Randy Ross ("Respondent") violated Florida election laws ..

2 By letter dated Januaty 24, 2012, the Executive Director notified Respondent that staff would investigate an alleged violation ofthe follow4!g statutory provisions:

Section 106.143(l)(a), Florida Statutes: Randy Ross, candidate for the Orlando City Council, District I, failed to matk a political advertisement with a proper disclaimer, as alleged in the complaint

Section 106.143(3), Florida Statutes: Randy Ross, candidate for the Orlando City Council, Distiict 1, stated his political patty affiliation on a political advertisement while running for nonpattisan office as alleged in the complaint

3 Respondent is a candidate for the Orlando City Council, Distiict I, in the April3, 2012 election

4.. Complainant alleged that Respondent failed to matk his political advertisement with aproper disclaimer, and that Respondent, as a candidate for a nonpattisan office, disclosed his political patty affiliation in his political advertisements. Complainant included a copy of two political advertisements that appeat to be downloaded from Respondent's original campaign website.

5. The first political advertisement is Respondent's catnpaign logo The disclaimer stated, "Paid political ad by the campaign to elect Randy Ross (Democrat) for Orlando City Council District I Betty Patker Ross I reasurer" (ROI Exhibit 2)1

1 The Report oflnvestigation is referred to herein as "ROI "

Staff Recommendation FEC 11·233 I

Page 23: STATE OF FLORIDA FLORIDA ELECTIONS COMMISSION › FECWebFi.nsf › 0 › 81FF4E5EC7E50D... · An informal hearing is a hearing in which the Respondent does not dispute issues of material

6. Respondent used the second political advertisement to solicit campaign contributions. This advertisement has two disclaimers. The first disclaimer stated, "Paid political ad by the campaign to elect Randy Ross (Democrat) for Orlando City Council District 1 Betty Parker Ross Treasurer," and the second disclaimer stated, "Paid political ad. Paid for and approved by Randy Ross, Candidate for Orlando City Council District 1 (Democrat). Betty Parker Ross, Treasurer" (ROI Exhibit 3)

7 Proper political advertisement disclaimers would have stated, "Political advertisement paid for and approved by Randy Ross for Orlando City Council, District 1 ," or "Paid by Randy Ross for Orlando City Council, District 1 "(ROI Exhibit 5)

8 Therefore, Respondent failed to mark his political advertisements with the required disclaimer, in violation of Section I 06 143(1)(a), Florida Statutes

9 Additionally, by marking his political advertisements with his political party affiliation, Respondent is also in violation of Section 106 .143(3), Florida Statutes

I 0 "Probable cause" is defined as reasonable ground of suspicion supported by circumstances sufficiently strong to warrant a cautious person in the belief that the person has committed the offense charged Schmitt v. State, 590 So 2d 404, 409 (Fla 1991}. Probable cause exists where the facts and circumstances, of which an [investigator] has reasonably trustworthy information, are sufficient in themselves for a reasonable man to reach the conclusion that an offense has been committed Dept ojHighway Safety and Motor Vehicles v Favino, 667 So.2d 305, 309 (Fla. 1" DCA 1995)

II. The above facts show that Respondent was a candidate for the Orlando City Council, District I, in the April3, 2012 election. Respondent had two political advertisements on his campaign website that failed to include the required political disclaimer Additionally, Respondent marked both political advertisements on his website with his political party affiliation

Based upon these facts and circumstances, I recommend that the Commission find probable cause to charge Respondent with violating the following:

During his 2012 election, Respondent violated Section 106 143(J)(a), Florida Statutes, when Respondent paid for and published a political advertisement logo without prominently marking the advertisement with the required political disclaimer

Count21.

During his 2012 election, Respondent violated Section 106.143(l)(a), Florida Statutes, v,hen Respondent paid for and published a political advertisement soliciting campaign

Randy Ross Is Set for Final Qualifying

Round Posted on January 31, 2012

Orlando Sentinel

The weeklong qualifying period for Orlando elections opened

Monday to cement the slate of candidates for mayor and City

Council.

Some 14 candidates have previously filed papers to run for mayor

or one of four City Council seats in the April 3 city election But it

doesn't become official until this week, when they pay a fee and the

City Clerk determines they're eligible to run It's also the point when candidates who haven't gained any

traction decide to drop out.

(

Orlando, FL: December 26, 2011: I am Randy Ross and today I want to introduce myself to the City of

Orlando voters and announce my candidacy for Orlando City Council District 1 . I have lived in Orlando

since 1994. Among many community roles in Orlando I have served on the Leadership Orlando Board

for The Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, Community

Health Centers of Central Florida, Media Human Resources Association and the Society of Human

Resource Management I was mentioned as one of "40 under 40" in the Orlando Business Journal I was

also very honored and proud to receive the Walt Disney World Community Service Award for Health &

Human Services, twice

Having worked in Orlando for over 20 years I know Orlando is the best city in Florida Yet I am deeply

concerned about our current economic state of the city. In 1994, when I officially moved to Orlando, the

unemployment rate was 5% In 2006 the unemployment rate in Orlando was, on average, 3% Today

the unemployment rate, in Orlando, is a staggering 1 0 .. 6% and the DAILY BEAST has reported Orlando

has the highest youth unemployment rate in the nation, at a whopping 24% I am ready to use my

extensive background in marketing to attract new businesses, fight for jobs and begin to get our

unemployed connected and working in Orlando.

My number one priority will be "Making Orlando the best place to work .. "

I will work to make this possible by tackling the issues that matter to our city: making the city council

involved in hosting job fairs, promoting business expansion, job training and attracting new companies. I

know how to connect workers and employers- I launched The Employment Guide, Orlando, and

created one of the city's largest job fairs to date in 1999 when the city had low unemployment, with

nearly 150 employers and over 2,500 attendees

I have a idea on how the turn the "Welcome to Orlando" storefront sign on ..

"50 x 3" Orlando Employment Job Fair Plan

The "50x3" program, works like this: the City of Orlando, under a Randy Ross council seat, will

spearhead a job fair program that the City sponsors every 90 days for the next 2 years With a minimum

target of 50 employers, the goal of this program will be putting at least 150 unemployed Orlando

residents back to work every 90 days I have released the details of the cost, implementation and a

viable way for the City of Orlando to hold and coordinate these "50x3" events Is this the only answer,

no. But it's a start and I am not willing to sit idly by.

I am ready to share my ideas of how to get Orlando workers and businesses better connected through

"50x3" and other ways. I look forward to meeting many new people in the neighborhoods of District 1 in

the coming weeks and months during my campaign. Thank you

Dear Ms Malphurs (Agency Clerk)

' Page I of I

I i

This email is in response to the complaint filed by my opponent in reference to my campaign materials. To avoid further concern (see attached) we have removed the word "Democrat" my party affliation from all materials

For anything out on FB at this point back .. .we will not, of course, be able to retract However, moving forward this reference has been removed

As related to the FB post about being at the "Democrat Holiday Gathering" I was in fact at this event and that was the title of the event; therefore, I am not sure I understand how this would violate campaign disclosure rules

Please advise, however, any additional changes you'd like me to address and I certainly am more than willing to adhere to them

Warmly,

Randy Ross Candidate, Orlando City Council District 1 407-401-4409

Chapter 13 Political Advertising

A political advertisement is a paid expression in any communications media, whether radio, television, newspaper, magazine, periodical, campaign literature, direct mail, or display or by means other than the spoken word in direct conversation, which expressly advocates the election or defeat of a candidate or the approval or rejection of an issue

(Section 106 143, F S)

Candidate Disclaimers

Except as noted below, any political advertisement that is paid for by a candidate and that is published, displayed, or circulated before, or on the day of, any election must prominently state: "Political advertisement paid for and approved by (name of candidate), (party affiliation) for (office sought)" or "Paid by (name of candidate), (party affiliation), for (office sought)"

(Section 106.143(1), F S)

IMPORTANT: Section 106. 143(4)(a), F.S, requires a candidate to approve all political advertisements and the advertisement must state that the content of the advertisement was approved by tbe candidate.. So, if the second alternative disclaimer above is used, the advertisement still must say somewhere that the candidate approved the advertisement

Also, the disclaimer language alternatives provided above should be verbatim as quoted in s .. 106 .. 143, F.S. Variations are prohibited by law.

Any political advertisement of a candidate running for partisan office shall express the name of the political party of which the candidate is seeking nomination or is the nominee

If the candidate for partisan office is running as a candidate with no party affiliation, any advertisement of the candidate must state that the candidate has no party affiliation. A candidate who is registered in a political party may run as a candidate with "no party affiliation" without changing his or her registration.

The candidate shall provide a written statement of authorization to the newspaper, radio station, television station, or other medium for each advertisement submitted for publication, display, broadcast, or other distribution

Candidates running for non-partisan office should not put a reference to party affiliation in the disclaimer

Exceptions to Disclaimer Requirements

The disclaimer requirement in section 106 143(1), Florida Statutes, does not apply to any campaign message or political advertisement used by a candidate and the candidate's supporters or by a political committee jf the message or advertisement is:

(a) Designed to be worn by a person

If contnbutions as defined in s. 106 011 are received, any monetary contributions must first be used to reimburse the supervisor of elections for any signature verification fees that were not paid because of the filing of the undue burden oath. [Note: The second sentence in (b) applies only when payment is made to a signature gatherer after an undue burden oath had been filed .. ]

Good morning! I received a question from a candidate and thought that the answer might be helpful to all of you, so I am providing it here

Q: Would a scanned or faxed voter signature on an alternative method petition be acceptable or must it be an original signature?

A: This is an excerpt from the Candidate Petition Method Handbook which can be found in the publication section of the Division of Elections website (excerpt from bottom of page 8):

Rule 1 S-2. 045(5)(f)4, FAC , provides that the supervisor of elections shall not verify a signature on a candidate petition unless the petition form contains the voter's original signature Thus, copies of petitions, electronic submission (such as email) or a petition with an electronic signature are not valid

Have a good holiday!

This email is in response to the complaint filed by my opponent in reference to my campaign materials, To avoid further concern (see attached) we have removed the word "Democrat" my party affliation from all materials.

For anything out on FB at this point back ... we will not, of course, be able to retract However, moving forward this reference has been removed,

As related to the FB post about being at the "Democrat Holiday Gathering" I was in fact at this event and that was the title of the event; therefore, I am not sure I understand how this would violate campaign disclosure rules.

Please advise, however, any additional changes you'd like me to address and I certainly am more than willing to adhere to them,

Warmly,

Randy Ross Candidate, Orlando City Council District 1

FLORIDA ELECTIONS COMMISSION

Date Received: 12/30/11 Reviewer: David Case#: FEC11-300

Complainant: Stephen L. Rayle Respondent: Randy Ross

X ORIGINAL D AMENDED

Complainant: Complainant is a candidate f()! the Orlando City Council, District I The election is scheduled for April 3, 2012. Complainant is employed as a conections officer.

Respondent: Respondent is a candidate for the Orlando City Council, Disttict L Respondent works in public relations in the banking industty.

Background: The April 3'd municipal election is nonpartisan and there is no incumbent candidate in the district I race

Violations in complaint: §106143(1), §106 . .143(3), §106..143(4)

Reviewer's violations: §106J43(l)(a), §106143(3), §106..143(4)

Violations for CMS: [2011]

1. Complainant aiieges that Respondent has failed to mark his political advertisements with a proper political disclaimer.

2. Complainant aiieges that Respondent, a candidate running for a nonpartisan office, has been disclosing his political party affiliation in his political advertisements

3" Complainant aiieges that Respondent has been using his Facebook page to imply that the "Democrat Party" has endorsed his 2012 candidacy for the Orlando City Council.

1. With his complaint, Mr Rayle submitted copies of two political advertisements which may have been downloaded from what now appears to have been Respondent's original campaign website * One advertisement is simply a logo-type advertisement; the other is an advertisement seeking campaign conttibutions While the advertisements contain express advocacy, neither advertisement is marked with a disclaimer which is in keeping with the exact requirements of Section I 06.. I 43( I )(a), Florida Statutes.

2. Both the sample political advertisements submitted with the complaint disclose Respondent's political party affiliation in possible violation of Section I 06.143(3), Florida Statutes.

3. With his complaint, Mr .. Rayle submitted three copies fiom Respondent's Facebook page that appear to have been downloaded on December 27, 2011 Page two of three includes a picture of Respondent standing with five other people.. Above the picture is the foiiowing caption:

Page 175: STATE OF FLORIDA FLORIDA ELECTIONS COMMISSION › FECWebFi.nsf › 0 › 81FF4E5EC7E50D... · An informal hearing is a hearing in which the Respondent does not dispute issues of material

Randy Ross for Orlando City Council #I Democrat Holiday Gathering. December 15, 2011.

I would suggest that the caption and picture is not an example of a representation of support from the local, state, or national Democratic Party.. Further, this posting on Facebook is not a political advertisement because Respondent is able to post such information free of charge Therefore, there was no need for Respondent to secure the written permission of the "Democrat Party" prior to posting the picture and caption on his Facebook page ..

[Legally insufficient]

I recommend that this complaint is legally sufficient because it appears that Respondent (I) failed to mark his political advertisements with a proper disclaimer, and (2) Respondent's political advertisements disclose his political party affiliation. The Commission has yet to amend its rules to include the change in Section 106 143(3), Florida Statutes, prohibiting a candidate rurming for a nonpartisan office from disclosing his political party affiliation in political advertisements. Therefore, I recommend this complaint for investigation of Respondent for possible violations of Sections 106143(1)(a) and 106.143(3), Florida Statutes. [2011]

About RANDY ROSS FOR CITY COUNCIL 2012 Orlando has been my home since 1994,

My family first brought me here in 1972 to Walt Disney World & we visited every year thereafter

In 1987 I completed my PR internship at Disney & knew then Orlando would be my horne

I have been fortunate enough to have received "2' Walt Disney World Community Service Awards for Health & Human Services honors that to this day are some of my proudest accomplishments

For me, this journey is about that visit in 1972 that forever changed my life And now I take this chance to help our city be a place that maybe another child someday will look back on their life & say "when I was a kid,, my family took me to Orlando & I knew then, I wanted to call it home!"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: RANDY ROSS ANNOUNCES BID FOR ORLANDO CTY COUNCIL DISTRICT 1.

I am Randy Ross and today I want to introduce myself to the City of Orlando voters and announce my candidacy for Orlando City Council District L I have lived in Orlando for (x years) Among many community roles in Orlando I have served on the Leadership Orlando Board for The Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, Community Centers of Central Florida, Media Human Resources Association and the Society of Human Resource Management I was mentioned as one of "40 under 40" in the Orlando Business JournaL I was also very honored and proud to receive the Walt Disney World Community Service Award for Health & Human Services, twice

Having worked in Orlando for over 20 years I know Orlando is the best city in Florida Yet I am deeply concerned about our current economic state of the city .. In 1994, when I officially moved to Orlando, the unemployment rate was 5%. In 2006 the unemployment rate in Orlando was, on average, 3% Today the unemployment rate, in Orlando, is a staggering 10 6% and the DAILY BEAST has reported Orlando has the highest youth unemployment rate in the nation, at a whopping 24% I am ready to use my extensive background in marketing to attract new businesses, fight for jobs and begin to get our unemployed connected and working in Orlando.

My number one priority will be "Making Orlando the best place to work!'

I will work to make this possible by tackling the issues that matter to our city: making the city council involved in hosting multiple job fairs, promoting business expansion, job training and attracting new companies .. I know how to connect workers and employers- I launched The Employment Guide, Orlando, and created one ofthe city's largest job fairs to date in 1999 when the city had low unemployment, with nearly 150 employers and over 2,500 attendees.

I have a idea on how the turn the "Welcome to Orlando" storefront sign on .. "50 x 3" Orlando Employment Job Fair Plan

The "50x3" program, works like this: the City of Orlando, under a Randy Ross council seat, will spearhead a job fair program that the City sponsors every 90 days for the next 2 years With a minimum target of 50 employers, the goal of this program will be putting at least 150 unemployed Orlando residents back to work every 90 days I have released the details of the cost, implementation and a viable way for the City of Orlando to hold and coordinate these "50x3" events Is this the only answer, no But it's a start and I am not willing to sit idly by

I am ready to share my ideas of how to get Orlando workers and businesses better connected through "50x3" and other ways .. I look forward to meeting many new people in the neighborhoods of District 1 in the coming weeks and months during my campaign Thank you.

"50 x 3" Orlando Job Fair Plan Randy Ross for Orlando City Council

Something has to be done to get back to low employment long before we can ever grow our diverse job base .. Randy Ross: "50x3 is only part of the solution but it's a start. There are so ma11y facets of marketing Orlando that are critical to the success of the city ...... but, without a working population, the city will continue to be seen as simply a tourist destination. And to not grow, attract companies and provide the jobs necessary to supportfamilies ..... .there's real!y no wqy to put Orlando ahead ojother markets for growth"

"50x3" With a minimum of 50 employers, the goal of this program will be putting at least 150 employed Orlando residents back to work.. Randy Ross: "It will take a combined effort of local employers and the city to co-sponsor this effort to increase Orlando as a desirable location to work and live .. "

Why Randy: Ross's success in marketing job fairs in the past, coupled with working with a resume of working with one of the largest recruitment advertising agencies in the world, }.Walter Thompson, will be a key part of his platform.

"City Council Candidate Randy Ross uses

Social Media and Video Diary

To Drive his Grassroots Campaign .. "

Orlando, December 26, 2011: "Driving people to my web site through social media has helped with everything from identification of who I am as a candidate as well as increase fundraising," said Ross currently the sole candidate in the race for Orlando City Council District 1 .. Ross is taking a different approach to reaching those in his district.

First: 2 years ago Ross successfully used Facebook to reeruit his over 100 person AIDS Walk Orlando Team and drove nearly $20,000 in 90 days making it to this day the largest team amount raised for Hope & Help in the history of the event The success and power of Facebook is what is driving Ross's decision to rely on this as a grassroots component to awareness & fundraising for his campaign.

"Where in this District is Randy Ross?" As part of his video diary of the campaign process, Ross publishes a video recap each day of a significant happening in the campaign .. Once the video is published on his 5,000 friend Facebook page he then transfers the video to the "Campaign Trail" section of his website www.randyross2012.com

Uniquely Ross has tied his personal/campaign twitter accounts as well as personal/campaign Facebook accounts which all tie to the website. This allows for real-time posting of all updates simultaneously. When walking the neighborhoods in the district, Ross is driving people to follow his progress in the campaign by driving people to the facebook pages as well as website

EXAMPLE: Ross raised $500 alone on Thursday, December 22nd with a theme on Facebook of reaching out to the more than 100 people on his Face book page who live in Indiana, Ross's home State. Challenging those he went to grade school, high school, college, worked with etc to make a campaign donation "I was very humbled with the support my Hoosier friends illustrated last week."

"It's 2011, nearly 2012 . it's time to take local campaigns back to the streets and yet, directly to the worldwide web A $1.00 can come from anywhere with the use of social media and my campaign is illustrating and capitalizing on this unique networking tool, "said Ross.

Randy Ross 20121 Makmg Orlando The Best Place To Work Page 2 of3

Hav1ng worked in Orlando for over 20 years I know Orlando IS the best city 1n Florida. Yet I am deeply concerned about our current econom1c

state of the city. in 1994, when I officially moved to Orlando, the unemployment rate was 5%. In 2006 the unemployment rate in Orlando was, on

average, 3%. Today the unemployment rate, m Orlando, IS a staggenng 10.6% and the DAILY BEAST has reported Orlando has the h1ghest

youth unemployment rate 1n the nation, at a whoppmg 24%. I am ready to use my extens1ve background in marketing to attract new businesses,

fight for JObs and beg1n to get our unemployed connected and working 1n Orlando.

My number one priority will be "Making Orlando the best place to work."

I will work to make this possible by tackling the 1ssues that matter to our city: making the city council involved in hosting multiple JOb fairs,

promoting business expansion, JOb training and attracting new companies. I know how to connect workers and employers- I launched The

Employment Guide, Orlando, and created one of the city's largest job fairs to date 1n 1999 when the city had low unemployment, with nearly 150

employers and over 2,500 attendees.

I have a idea on how the turn the "Welcome to Orlando" storefront sign on.

"50 x 3" Orlando Employment Job Fair Plan

The "50x3" program, works like this: the City of Orlando, under a Randy Ross council seat, will spearhead a 10b f81r program that the City

sponsors every 90 days for the next 2 years. With a minimum target of 50 employers, the goal of th1s program will be putting at least 150

unemployed Orlando residents back to work every 90 days. I have released the details of the cost, Implementation and a viable way for the City

of Orlando to hold and coordinate these "50x3" events. Is this the only answer, no. But it's a start and I am not willing to sit idly by.

I am ready to share my ideas of how to get Orlando workers and businesses better connected through "50x3" and other ways. I look forward to

meeting many new people m the neighborhoods of District 1 1n the com1ng weeks and months durmg my campa~gn. Thank you.

My Story I Randy Ross 2012

My Story

About Myself and My Bid For Orlando City Council #1

Orlando has been my home since 1994. My family first brought me here 1n 1972 to Walt Disney World and we visited every year

thereafter. In 1987 I completed my PR internship at Disney and knew then Orlando would be my home.

Page 1 of2

I have been fortunate enough to have received "2" Walt Disney World Community Service Awards for Health & Human Serv1ces- honors that to

this day are some of my proudest accomplishments.

For me, th1s 1ourney IS about that visit in 1972 that forever changed my life. Now, I take this chance to help our city be a place that maybe another

child someday will look back on their life and say, "When I was a kid my family took me to Orlando and I knew then- i wanted to call it home!"

My Plan I Randy Ross 2012 Page 2 of2

"THE NEW MINORITY"

Over 136 companies are recogmzed nationally as "LGBT Certified" businesses. Once certified, an LGBT bus1ness IS recognized by those other

compames as one v1able to do business with. The city will work closely with the MBA to msure start-up bus1nesses take advantage of this

opportunity as well as encouraging new business to start using this platform as a means for networking. Moreover, we will announce to the world

Orlando IS "Open for Bus1ness" and welcomes LGBT certified busmesses for relocation and employ1ng our LGBT friendly community.

"ORLANDO WORKS MONTHLY ROUNDTABLE"

This monthly meeting of key companies in Orlando, will be held at City Hall . The purpose of the roundtable is to keep a constant line of

commumcation regarding the "50x3" as well as keeping a line of commumcation open about the needs of busmess from an HR perspective and

pulse on the employment situation 1n our city. Each meeting will include a presentation from vanous HR professionals as well as an update from

Workforce Central Florida on the reality of our employment crises. Initial commitment time-line: 24 months.

"50 x 3" Orlando Job Fair Plan Randy Ross for Orlando City Council

Something has to be done to get back to low employment long before we can ever grow our diverse job base .. Randy Ross: '~50x3 is only part of the solution but it's a start There are so ma~y facets of marketing Orlando that are critical to the success of the city ..... but, without a working population, the city will continue to be seen as .simply a tourist destination And to not grow, attract companies and provide the jobs necessary to supportfamilies ...... there's really no wqy to put Orlando ahead of other markets for growth"

"50x3" With a minimum of 50 employers, the goal of this program will be putting at least 150 employed Orlando residents back to work.. Randy Ross: "It will take a combined effort of local employers and the city to co-sponsor this effort to increase Orlando as a desirable location to work and live."

Why Randy: Ross's success in marketing job fairs in the past, coupled with working with a resume of working with one of the largest recruitment advertising agencies in the world, }.Walter Thompson, will be a key part of his platform. Additionally, while Government & Community Relations Director, Ross was responsible for the largest agency account, The Army National Guard Working closely on all facets of the marketing recruitment process.

Events: Every 90 days for the next 2 years with a 3 .. 5 year continued annual commitment 50 employers- each offering 3 jobs .. 150 employed after each event

Program cost: Ross recommends that the city would put up the space, most likely in the Amway Arena, as well as personnel to organize and secure the event The companies that participate, on average at $250 per job booth location, will override all costs to the city .. Randy Ross, "We are basical!y fostering an environment to get those unemployed back to work and illustrating to the world that Orlando is willing to work with employers to provide them top talent. In turn, those companies considering relocation

Year Incorporated: 1875 Population: 238300

County: Orange

City History: Incorporated 1875. Several legends attempt to explain the origin of the city's name. One says that Judge James G. Speer, who came to the area from South Carolina in 1854 and became a state senator, took the name from that of a character in Shakespeare's "As You Like It " Support is given this by the fact that the city has a Rosalind Street. Another account says that a certain Mr. Orlando was leading an ox caravan to Tampa when he was seized by 'colic" (now appendicitis) at the site of the city. He passed away and was buried where he fell. Later passers-by were said to have remarked, ''There lies Orlando-­What has become the official version concerns Orlando Reeves, who was on sentinel duty for a camping party while his companions slept. An Indian stealthily approached in the guise of a rolling log, Orlando saw what he was and fired his gun, which woke the other campers and saves their lives. However, the Indian launched an arrow that killed Orlando In 1939, students of Cherokee Junior High School, at their own expense, erected in Eola Park a tablet, which says: Orlando Reeves in whose honor our city Orlando was named killed in this vicinity by Indians September, 1835 "How sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country'·s wishes blest!" -William Collins

A History of' Laws, Corrections, and the Influence of the US Court on MODERN PENOLOGY

Special Two-Part Series: PART TWO

By Steve RAYI.E, Correctional Officer, Central Florida Reception Center East Unit

Editor :S note; This is the second part of a two~ part article p1'epat·ed by Officer Rayle for his masterS degr·ee in cdminaljustice. The first part discussed the history of the rule of law and the second part looks at crime and punishment in America and modern U.S Supreme Court decisions that have most affected our pT'ojession

Crime & Punishment

ir========·"''""""''''"""'''''"'''~""""'=======·= .. = .... =-= .. =·--=ilBefore 17901 American justice was often swift, to the point, ll!and severe. Corporal punishment coexisted with

!incarceration, Often, offenders were simply pilloried, ~~randed, or whipped to punish and deter., Frequently, ;justice was enjoyed by the victim of crime and was meted

PART ONE

In ancient Babylon, the good King Hammurabi established a 282-part code of laws that is still studied almost 3800 years later. Remarkably, of these laws are replicated in modern ideas of justice and morals around the world

In the 17th century, the English Bill of Rights was created and remnants of it survive today in various forms. The English Bill of Rights also established the rules of succession and power

I 'he United States, where early inhabitants often meted out their own justice, · is founded by constitutional laws in the 18th century that are suspiciously like those of the English Bill of Rights;

the same English from whom we fought to gain independence Later, this United States Constitution helped shape the practice of penology in these United States

.~~====~~====~-===~

iut by him to the suspected offender ..

I'he genemlly accepted forerunner of Ameiican prisons is he Walnut Street Jail and was established in Colonial

Philadelphia .. This was the first attempt at classifying !Prisoners according to their crimes. Those charged, but

.~ot convicted, were segregated from those sentenced.

Confinement was the new model of punishment and was expected to replace the corporal punishment that had een in use for centuries ..

'Jail overcrowding and the reprehensible acts that became !commonplace led to early reforms. The Auburn system

1was established with the idea that a solitary existence

~ould punish criminals more efficiently. It was soon iscovered that a solitary existence destroyed these onvicts and had far-reaching effects on their keepers as ell

As America's timeline continued, different experiments on penology were tried. In the late 19th century, a system of reformation was used with the presumption that by providing education, training, and religious instruction, a criminal is capable of being reformed In addition, the sentence was variable according to the progress the individual inmate made

The early 20th century gave rise to self-supporting prisons. Labor was hired out to those who needed a steady, but cheap supply oflabor.. Of course, this was much akin to the harsh realities of slavery from an earlier time (Friedman)

Reform came into vogue once again as social workers developed programs designed to rehabilitate the criminal mind. Individual caseworkers would attempt intensive treatment, eager to convert the criminal into a law abiding, productive member of society .. It wasn't until the 1970s that it was determined that such efforts were largely unsuccessful

Since that time, alternative programs to incarceration have been implemented. Community service, community conections, house arrest, electronic monitoiing, and intensive probation are all programs in existence today.

Degrees of success are found with each program. (Peak) Unfortunately, there seems to be no real cure for the criminal mind.

Crime Detection

A common misconception is that Benjamin Franklin discovered the unique characteristics of fingerprints and that this knowledge can contribute to solving crimes. While he may have made this discovery independently, the Chinese were using this method of identification at least 2000 years ago ..

Emperors would use their thumbprints to sign important documents Apparently, they realized that each person had distinctive prints and found this to be unmistakable proof of one's approval on such documents (Science)

In 1871, the Virginia Supreme Court told Woody Ruffin, a convicted murderer, that he was a "slave of the state" with no rights that need to. be recognized. (Peak p .. 223) This was the fundamental modus operandi of penal institutions throughout the country. This seemed counter to our Constitution in that even convicts, since they are still citizens, should not lose all of their constitutional protections ..

Hands Off

The 1960s ushered in new ideas concerning those individuals who were seemingly left behind or ignored by the majority in this country.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, under the leadership of President Lyndon Johnson, a fierce Democrat, became a reality. Buried within this act of rights is Title 42, Section 1983, which states in part:

"Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or I enitory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law" (Cornell)

···jThis was the catalyst for an explosion of inmate lawsuits against prison authorities and a new era for inmates had begun. (Peak, p 223)

It Is a common misconception j that Benjamin Franklin ji'he civil rights era brought sweeping changes to American discovered the unique ;society, prisons included. characteristics of fingerprints 1 and that this knowledge can ' contribute to solving crimes. \In Cooper v Pate, the "hands·off doctrine" which While Franklin may have made !effectively gave wardens absolute rule over their charges, this diScovert lndependeotly, iwas ended.

suits Unfortunately, there is no simple way to separate the frivolous lawsuit from the ones addressing serious issues (New Penology)

In 1974, the U, S .. Supreme Court stated that, "there is no Iron Curtain drawn between the Constitution and the prisons of this country .. " This quote, from Wolff v McDonnell, helped expand prisoner's rights and remedies (Peak)

In 1979, the case of Bell v Wolfish examined several issues conceming prisonerrights .. The decision seemed to reverse somewhat the earlier rulings by returning greater control and power to corrections personnel for management and administrative decisions .. Bell further examined the issue of housing pre-trial detainees with those who have been convicted .. The Court held that there should be separate housing for these different classes of inmate (LSU)

Current Issues in the Court

Visitation in prisons is generally held to be a privilege and not a right as it is for pre-trial detainees in county jails .. Visitation privileges are used as a form of control, often restricting or even revoking such visitation to punish the incorrigible inmate A Michigan case (Overton v. Bazzetta) has been granted certiorari by the U.S Supreme Court to examine this issue of visitation

Rules such as limiting the number of minors allowed to visit, a prohibition of visits from former inmates, and a two­year suspension of visitation privileges for two major misconducts conceming substance abuse, are but a few of the specific questions the Court will address.

The respondents hold that this amounts to a deprivation of their First and Fourteenth Amendment protections and also violate their Eight Amendment protections against cruel and unusual punishment

As filed, the main issues are:

1 Whether prisoners have a right to non-contact visitation protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments. 2, Whether the restrictions on non-contact prison visitation imposed by the Michigan Department of Corrections

are reasonably related to legitimate penological interests. 3 Whether the restrictions on non-contact prison visitation imposed by the Michigan Department of Corrections

constitute cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment (USDOJ)

This case has the potential of affecting the entire prison population of 14 million across the nation,

The_('!()~S()LYf!llow Brick Road?

So where is American society today with respect to modem penology? It appears that rehabilitative measures have failed greatly; however nearly half of all Americans continue to support this elusive goal (Peak) The data is in; mandatory rehabilitation of criminals is a futile effort and therefore the funds for these benevolent pursuits could better be used elsewhere in the penal system

Society's primary purpose of punishment is to incapacitate criminals for a designated period. Retribution through removing the wrong-doer's liberty coexists with incapacitation

Every society has had, and will continue to have, a segment of the population that will not conform to the laws, customs, and norms that have been established, For these people, there will always be a price to pay.

In the United States, our primary form of punishment for serious crimes is imprisonment, yet many believe that imprisonment itself is a futile experiment.

In a general sense, our greatest achievement in the penological system is that the criminal is not committing new crimes while locked up., This is about the only accomplishment that everyone can agree upon,
