Miracle Village, FL - A Haven for Outlaws

It was only a matter of time before a town in Florida made it to this list. The town of Miracle Village was founded by a minister named Richard Witherow, and the town is really more of a community. It was established as a place where registered sex offenders could find refuge after they get out of prison. Florida, and many other states, have laws preventing said offenders from living within a certain radius of things like schools, bus stops, libraries, and playgrounds.

This means that for a lot of Miracle Village's residents (about half are registered offenders), this is one of the only places they can legally live. Most residents who lived here before it gained its distinction say that the town is quiet and peaceful.
