This site will help you find the information you need.
Here’s some background information on how this came about: in April of 2007, Florida Governor Charlie Crist issued new rules that streamline the clemency process for ex-offenders convicted of non-violent crimes, so long as they paid any victim’s restitution and have no pending criminal charges.

People For the American Way Foundation has obtained a list of ALL ex-offenders in the state that have received clemency from the earliest data available until October of 2007.
