'Smart Justice' Board Will Cut Corrections Spending
Board members for the Center for Smart Justice gathered Thursday in Tallahassee to hash out ideas and strategy for moving justice and correctional system reform measures through the Legislature. Backed by Florida TaxWatch, a taxpayer advocacy group, Smart Justice is an attempt to jump-start bills and create a movement for reforming the justice system based on reducing recidivism and preventing juveniles from entering what often becomes the “revolving door” of the jail cell.Florida Department Corrections - News

CRESTVIEW — Col. Greg Malloy will never be forgotten if his former co-workers at Okaloosa Correctional Institution have any say.
Dozens of people gathered Thursday morning under the hot sun for the dedication of Colonel Greg Malloy Road, which heads east from State 85 to the state prison south of Crestview.
“We care and we’ll continue to care about Col. Malloy. We’re proud of why we’re here,” said Maj. Jon Brown, who works at the prison. “He worked here for 19 years. He started here at the lowest rank and worked his way up. Everybody knew him.
“This was his home.”
Malloy, the senior officer at Holmes Correctional Institution, was killed Feb. 2 after he was shot by Wade Williams, whom authorities were pursuing in a wooded area near the Gritney community after Williams killed his parents in Jackson County. Malloy was 44.
In addition to his years in Okaloosa and Holmes counties, he also worked for the Washington Correctional Institution — now called the Northwest Florida Reception Center — and the Tomoka Correctional Institution in Volusia County. He was promoted to colonel, the highest designation for an officer, on July 23, 2010.
In his 23 years with the Florida Department of Corrections, the DeFuniak Springs resident became close with many of his co-workers, including Sgt. Bruce Boughman, who led the effort to rename Little Silver Road in honor of Malloy.
Boughman began seeking community support in March to change the road’s name. He contacted residents on Little Silver Road and Okaloosa County commissioners, and then raised funds to make the sign a reality.
“I wondered what I could do to help. I wanted to do something,” Boughman said. “If you would have known (Greg), you would know why this was something we should do. If you knew him you would understand.
“He was a swell individual.”
Malloy’s daughter, Payton, unveiled the street sign. When the 12-year-old removed the cover applause broke out around her.
As Payton and her mother Donna Malloy looked at the bright green sign, tears rolled down their cheeks.
“We take it day by day,” Donna said after the ceremony. “We are very, very honored by everything they’ve done for us. It just gets very emotional.”
“We have our days. This is one of our days,” Payton said as she wiped her eyes and held a miniature version of the sign given to her by his former co-workers. “This is where all his friends are, so it means a lot.
