https://ourtallahassee.com/florida-prosecutors-racism-policy-leaked/Oh my god, they wrote down the racism policy
Hayes worked for Jack Campbells State Attorneys Office between December 5th, 2022, and January 26th, 2023. In that period, she primarily worked in the Leon County State Attorneys office, working on misdemeanors. Towards the end of January, she was sent out to Jefferson County.
She only worked at the Jefferson County office for five days.
In those five days working in the office, McKenzie says it was a glaring difference in the state attorneys offices culture and views on race. In Jefferson County, the all-white staff of prosecutors would often discuss an us versus them mentality when referencing local migrant farm workers.
Hayes says they often just called them mexicans.
It was very clear that this was a white office, in leadership, staff, attorneys. Both the Leon and Jefferson county offices were like that, Hayes said.
Campbells staff spans six counties and has been criticized for being nearly all-white. Campbells offices employ around fifty lawyers and the same number of support staff.
This culture wasnt limited to just one staff member or one case. Hayes says that fellow attorneys in the Jefferson County office all appeared to embrace this culture. Hayes says she took this picture one day while alone in the office.

The document is genuine.
Florida prosecutor blamed an 'entry-level' staffer after a document surfaced from his office outlining harsher penalties for 'Hispanic' defendants (Business Insider)
A Florida prosecutor has confirmed to Insider the authenticity of a document that outlined a racist policy in his office.
The document called for "Hispanic" defendants to receive stricter penalties for "No Valid Driver's License."
The prosecutor, Jack Campbell, blamed the document on a junior staffer who has been "reprimanded."
Florida state attorney Jack Campbell said in an interview on Wednesday that an "entry-level" staffer is to blame for a document that outlined a racist policy displayed in a Northern Florida office. He claimed the staffer who he would not identify has since been disciplined after a photo was shared of the document that called for Hispanic defendants to receive stricter penalties for driving without a license.

When it comes out in public. It's never the higher ups - even though they have expressed similar ideas in private. No, the big guys would **never** be racist or be so idiotic to do this sort of stuff where it could be caught. Of course not!
