So, You Think Someone Did the Florida Shuffle? How to Find Out if They've Been Tangoing with the Judge
Let's face it, Florida: the land of sunshine, oranges, and the occasional headline that makes you raise an eyebrow. Maybe you knew someone who borrowed your prized flamingo pool floatie "accidentally," and now you suspect they might be doing some involuntary laps in a less glamorous body of water. Or perhaps you're about to embark on a first date, and a little background check (beyond their questionable taste in vacation photos) feels prudent. Whatever your reason, you're here to crack the code: has this person been rocking an orange jumpsuit?

Florida, bless its quirky heart, is pretty transparent about who's enjoying a complimentary stay at the county hotel (minus the complimentary breakfast, of course). There are a couple of ways to find out if your friend, foe, or potential future soulmate has become roommates with Bubba.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
The Department of Corrections: This is your go-to for felony convictions. Head over to the Florida Department of Corrections website and use their Offender Information Search. Just pop in a name (and maybe a handy Department of Corrections number if you have it), and voil�! Be warned: this only tracks folks in state prisons or under state supervision.
County Sheriff Websites: Jails are county-run, so if you're looking for someone who might be facing a shorter stint, hit up the website of the sheriff's office in the county you suspect they tangled with the law in. Many counties have inmate search functions online. Pro tip: some counties may limit their search results to the past 30 days, so you might need to do some additional digging if your lead is a little cold.

Now Get Out There and Investigate (Responsibly!)
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
Armed with this knowledge, you can become a veritable Florida jailhouse detective – though we recommend using your newfound skills for responsible purposes only.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
