Update on Ohio's criminal sentencing overhaul

A Columbus Dispatch article this morning observed "Ohio's criminal-sentencing overhaul is growing – now up to 570 pages -- with provisions added by an Ohio Senate panel yesterday requiring prisons to justify why they are keeping inmates 65 or older, provide certificates to help former inmates get jobs, and create an instant diversion program for shoplifters."


An analysis of the bill as it was when it left the House last month is here.
