Is interstate transfer from a Florida prison possible? How about parole?

Question

Can a Florida prisoner recieve an interstate transfer to Ohio? If so, would the Florida legislative mandate requiring that prisoners serve 85% of the sentence still apply if he is transferred to a state that does not have that mandate? Is the Florida Parole Board still an active entity, even though prisoners in Florida are no longer allowed to receive parole?

Answer 1

Yes, the interstate compact would apply. And, another yes, the FL sentencing laws would apply. And, a final yes, a board of pardons and paroles still exists in states that have abolished parole. But, I am not sure about FL. A call to Jed Bush's office would be the answer.
