In a case echoing State v. Bloomer back in June, in which the Ohio Supreme Court held that trial courts "had a statutory duty to provide notice to offenders of post-release control at the sentencing hearing, and any sentence imposed without such notification is contrary to law and void," possibly allowing the release of as many as 15, 000 former prisoners now under post-release supervision, it yesterday found that once the Department of Corrections determines an offender a good candidate for placement in an intensive program prison ("IPP") in lieu of serving the sentence ordered by the court, and notifies the court of that determination, if the court doesn't take any action after ten days, the Department may proceed with placement in IPP and once that inmate completes the IPP can be released.
