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.

Felonies that can qualify you for PRR status include:

  • Treason
  • Murder and manslaughter
  • Sexual battery and sex offenses involving children
  • Carjacking
  • Robbery and home-invasion robbery
  • Arson
  • Kidnapping
  • Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
  • Aggravated battery
  • Aggravated stalking
  • Aircraft piracy
  • Unlawful throwing, placing or discharging of a destructive device or bomb
  • Burglary of a dwelling or burglary of an occupied structure, and armed burglary
  • Child abuse or neglect
  • Any felony involving the use or threat of physical force or violence against an individual

Mandatory PRR sentences according to degree are:

  • Third-degree felony — five-year sentence
  • Second-degree felony — 15-year sentence
  • First-degree felony — 30-year sentence
  • Life felony — life in prison sentence​

An experienced criminal attorney like Dennis Gonzalez Jr. can significantly increase your chances of avoiding a PRR sentence. He can help you fight a PRR case primarily in two ways:

  1. If there are extenuating circumstances in your case, your attorney can attempt to strike a plea deal with the prosecuting attorney.
  2. A skilled trial attorney can fight the charges in court to give you the best chance of achieving a verdict of "not guilty."

When the stakes are high, it is crucial to have an attorney who can provide the strongest possible defense for your case.

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.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"I was unjustly charged with a Felony for taking back one of my employees mobile phones after she was dismissed from her post. She called police. They arrested me, charged me with Strong Arm Robbery and I spent the next two days in jail. I hired Dennis when I was released. He took over and turned a Felony into a Misdemeanor, then a Dismissal! Thanks Dennis, for finding justice in this case!!"
