January 2006:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The effective containment of sex offenders has been an ongoing concern for policymakers. In summer 2005, the Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission created a Penalty Review Subcommittee to examine the current statutes in Ohio and to determine if there was a need for recommendations to improve Ohio’s management of sex offenders.
The purpose of this report is to provide information on sex offenders in Ohio’s prisons and discuss what works in effectively managing this population, including SORN legislation. Research in Ohio and nationally has found there are effective ways to manage sex offender populations.
Assessing sex offenders when they enter the prison system, developing effective treatment programs while they are in prison and closely supervising offenders when they are released to the community can assist in containing sex offender behavior.
