Ohio corrections legislation

In the closing days of March, a bill was introduced in the Ohio House that would modify state sentencing procedures with respect to post-release controls and other related aspects, including those to the Adult Parole Authority, Dept. of Rehabilitation & Corrections, and the Department of Youth Services.

The bill would also repeal Ohio Revised Code §2967.11, provisions under which so-called “bad time” extensions of an inmate’s sentence for infractions while in prison having been found unconstitutional by State ex rel. Bray v. Russell(2000).
