When my GF did 2 years in Fla first she was in the state run prison outside Ocala and it was a medieval nightmare, when she was transferred to the private one in Quincy outside Tallahassee she was SO happy, it was so much nicer and better run and modern, it looked like a college campus when I visited her.
