Offender
Number
Offender number refers to the identification number given
to each Ohio inmate upon incarceration. Numbers are assigned in
chronological order. However, if an inmate is returned to prison because
of a technical parole violation, he or she is given the same number as the
original incarceration. Inmates being returned to prison for the
commission of a new crime will be assigned a new number. Numbers for male
inmates begin with "A" and have six digits. (Some male inmate
numbers begin with "R". This was previously used to designate a
younger, or "reformatory" inmate. While this designation is no
longer used, some "R" numbers still exist.) Inmate numbers for
females are eight digits and begin with "W".
Offense
"Offense" refers to the crimes for which the
offender is, or was most recently, incarcerated. "ATT" indicates
"attempted;" "CON" indicates "conspiracy to
commit;" and "COM" indicates "complicity in."
Duplicate entries indicate additional counts of the same crime.
Committing
County
"Committing County" is the county in which the
offender was convicted of his or her most serious crime.
Date of
Admission
"Date of Admission" is the date in which the
offender was originally received by the Department.
Status
Offenders are either "Incarcerated,"
"Paroled," or "Released." The designation of
"Paroled" or "Released" is the status on the date the
offender was released from incarceration.
-
Incarcerated means the offender is still in
prison, although the inmate could be temporarily out to court, etc.
-
Paroled means that the offender was released
from prison under some type of supervision.
-
Released refers to offenders who served their
sentences and were released without any kind of supervision.
Parole or Release Detail
If an offender has been released or paroled, detail of
that release or parole will appear here. If an offender is incarcerated
there will be no information.
Sentences - The
above information may not contain a complete list of sentencing
information for each offender.
The term imposed by the judge for crimes committed on or
after July 1, 1996. It is essentially a Definite Sentence without a
reduction for time off for good behavior. The law allows for extensions
for misbehavior in prison ("bad time") and for misbehavior
while under supervision after the stated prison term expires. However,
the sentence can be reduced for "earned credits."
The offender is sentenced to a specific time in prison
(e.g., two years). A definite sentence expires when the time imposed is
served or reduced by "good time" and/or "earned
credits." (Good time and/or earned credits under old law could
reduce a definite sentence by approximately one-third of the sentence
imposed by the judge).
The offender is sentenced to a range of time in prison
with minimum and maximum components (e.g., two to ten years). The
minimum sentence is determined by the judge from a range set by statute;
the maximum sentence is set by statute. The minimum sentence can be
reduced by good time and earned credits. With the exception of inmates
serving death sentences, the Ohio Parole Board decides when the offender
is suitable for release after serving the minimum sentence minus good
time and/or earned credits. Offenders cannot be kept after their maximum
sentence expires.
Next Parole Hearing Date
The inmate's case will be reviewed by the Ohio Parole
Board approximately two months prior to the date indicated. This
allows time for the hearing to be held and a decision to be made prior to
the date given in this search.
