What Fla. Stat. § 870.01 covers
Chapter 870 of the Florida Statutes — Affrays; Riots; Routs; Unlawful Assemblies. A single statute can span several offences at different degrees, and the figures on this page pool every degree. No single rate here is the rate for any one degree.
How often did this charge end in state prison, by county?
Sorted alphabetically, never worst-first. Every rate below has one denominator and it is stated in the column heading: all charges recorded, not convictions. A rate computed on convictions would be higher, and mixing the two is why the same statute can appear to have different “worst counties” on different pages. Across the 35 counties with enough records to publish a rate, the median is 0.0%.

Source, window and the n≥10 floor
Florida Clerk of Courts public records, under Fla. Stat. § 900.05. Window: 2018–2026. A sentencing rate is published for a county only where that county has at least 10 records for this charge. Percentages are weighted by case count. Where the categories on a county page sum to less than 100%, the remainder is a sentence not recorded in the public extract, and that county page names it.
