Stricter custody rules for dangerous crimes

Beginning July 1, 2026, Florida courts must immediately hold people who plead guilty or no contest to a dangerous crime, or are found guilty. They must stay in custody without bond until sentencing, even if they intend to appeal. The requirement ends if the plea or finding is canceled, reversed on appeal, or set aside by an acquittal. The law also expands the dangerous-crime list used for pretrial detention to cover human trafficking, specified drug trafficking, extortion, and written threats to kill. Specified computer pornography and child-exploitation offenses are covered too, along with attempts or conspiracies to commit any covered crime.
