Safeguard Your Future with Miami Criminal Defense Attorney Dennis Gonzalez Jr. in Prison Releasee Reoffender Cases
(PRR) Prison Release Reoffender, Florida Statute §775.082
|
If you face accusations of committing a felony soon after your release from prison, you may be charged as a prison releasee reoffender (PRR). A conviction as a PRR requires serving the maximum sentence for the crime. Miami Criminal Defense Attorney Dennis Gonzalez Jr. is here to help you navigate this challenging situation and provide the strong defense you need.
Under Florida Statute §775.082, a person committing a specific felony within three years of being released from prison qualifies as a PRR. If found guilty, the judge must impose the maximum sentence according to the crime's degree. PRRs must serve the full sentence in prison with no chance of parole or early release.

Possible Defenses to PRR sentencing
- Challenge the predicate conviction: Your attorney may argue that the prior conviction which qualifies you as a PRR is invalid or that your release date from prison was miscalculated, making the PRR classification inapplicable.
- Challenge the current charge: Your attorney can scrutinize the evidence against you and work to create reasonable doubt regarding the current charges. This may involve challenging the credibility of witnesses, disputing the admissibility of evidence, or presenting an alibi.
- Plea negotiations: If there are extenuating circumstances in your case, your attorney may attempt to strike a plea deal with the prosecution. This could involve pleading guilty to a lesser charge that does not trigger PRR sentencing or negotiating a reduced sentence in exchange for cooperation.
- Assert affirmative defenses: Your attorney may present affirmative defenses, such as entrapment or self-defense, to demonstrate that you were justified in committing the alleged offense or that you were induced to commit the crime by law enforcement.
