Will Florida inmates come to my home?

Sometimes it amazes me when people don't think and have personal conversations when inmates are around.

Call the Florida BON and talk to them there.

Where in Florida are you moving? I can either give or get you the scoop on most of the North Florida institutions.

They can get your address in many different ways, not just your license. What about all the people search databases there are online?

My husband and I have a PO box for most of our "official" mail. The actual physical address is not given out unless absolutely necessary.

The only people in FL that were able to be listed as confidential were fire/rescue employees, law enforcement/dept. of corrections and judges. This was done under a law after Sept 11. Now they are changing it that even these career lines list their work place instead. I was employed as a firefighter paramedic and am still listed as confidential for those certifications, but as an ED nurse I had to list place of employment. When you apply for licensure in FL it gives you the option to list place of employment or home address, this is also able to be changed via the web (Flhealthsource.com). It still amazes me that some people make the choice to list their home addresses when the information is so easily looked up via Florida license verification.

You won't be far from me. Look for a PM in a couple of days. I have to talk to my gf from over there.

Inmates show up at your home all the time. They're delivery people, service personnel, neighbors, etc.

There are millions of ex-cons in the U.S. It's hard to go anywhere without bumping into someone.

Whether or not your address is public, an interested inmate will find a way to get it.

That said, I would venture to say that few people have every had this come up.

Will an inmate come to my home?....only if you ask REALLY nicely!:chuckle
