Florida's Mandatory Minimum Sentencing: The 10-20-Life Law

Under Florida's 10-20-Life law, mandatory minimum sentences will be imposed for violent felonies that involved firearms.

Examples of sentencing under 10-20-Life:

If you produced a firearm during the commission of a certain type of felony, you will be ordered to serve at least a 10-year prison sentence.
If you fired a firearm, you will be ordered to serve at least a 20-year prison sentence.
If you shot someone, you will be ordered to serve a minimum of 25 years to life (regardless of whether the individual was killed or not).

In addition, this law also increased or established mandatory minimum sentencing for specific crimes involving law enforcement or seniors aged 65 or older. Offenses under this law must be served consecutively with other sentences rather than concurrently.
