forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code and finds that the606
offender is not amenable to an available community control607
sanction, the court shall impose a prison term upon the offender.608

       (b) Except as provided in division (E), (F), or (G) of this609
section, if the court does not make a finding described in610
division (B)(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i) of611
this section and if the court, after considering the factors set612
forth in section 2929.12 of the Revised Code, finds that a613

sentencing set forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code, the616
court shall impose a community control sanction or combination of617

applicable, it is presumed that a prison term is necessary in632
order to comply with the purposes and principles of sentencing633
under section 2929.11 of the Revised Code. Notwithstanding the634
presumption established under this division, the sentencing court635
may impose a community control sanction or a combination of636
community control sanctions instead of a prison term on an637
offender for a felony of the first or second degree or for a638
felony drug offense that is a violation of any provision of639
Chapter 2925., 3719., or 4729. of the Revised Code for which a640
presumption in favor of a prison term is specified as being641
applicable if it makes both of the following findings:642

       (1) A community control sanction or a combination of643
community control sanctions would adequately punish the offender644
and protect the public from future crime, because the applicable645
factors under section 2929.12 of the Revised Code indicating a646
lesser likelihood of recidivism outweigh the applicable factors647
under that section indicating a greater likelihood of recidivism.648

       (2) A community control sanction or a combination of649
community control sanctions would not demean the seriousness of650
the offense, because one or more factors under section 2929.12 of651
the Revised Code that indicate that the offender's conduct was652
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense are653
applicable, and they outweigh the applicable factors under that654
section that indicate that the offender's conduct was more serious655
than conduct normally constituting the offense.656

       (E)(1) Except as provided in division (F) of this section,657
for any drug offense that is a violation of any provision of658
Chapter 2925. of the Revised Code and that is a felony of the659
third, fourth, or fifth degree, the applicability of a presumption660
under division (D) of this section in favor of a prison term or of661
division (B) or (C) of this section in determining whether to662
impose a prison term for the offense shall be determined as663
specified in section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, 2925.05, 2925.06,664
2925.11, 2925.13, 2925.22, 2925.23, 2925.36, or 2925.37 of the665
Revised Code, whichever is applicable regarding the violation.666

       (2) If an offender who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to667
a felony violates the conditions of a community control sanction668
imposed for the offense solely by reason of producing positive669
results on a drug test, the court, as punishment for the violation670
of the sanction, shall not order that the offender be imprisoned671
unless the court determines on the record either of the following:672

       (a) The offender had been ordered as a sanction for the673
felony to participate in a drug treatment program, in a drug674
education program, or in narcotics anonymous or a similar program,675
and the offender continued to use illegal drugs after a reasonable676
period of participation in the program.677

       (b) The imprisonment of the offender for the violation is678
consistent with the purposes and principles of sentencing set679
forth in section 2929.11 of the Revised Code.680

       (F) Notwithstanding divisions (A) to (E) of this section,681
the court shall impose a prison term or terms under sections682
2929.02 to 2929.06, section 2929.14, or section 2971.03 of the683
Revised Code and except as specifically provided in section684
2929.20 or 2967.191 of the Revised Code or when parole is685
authorized for the offense under section 2967.13 of the Revised686
Code shall not reduce the terms pursuant to section 2929.20,687

Chapter 5120. of the Revised Code for any of the following689

sentenced to another mandatory term of local incarceration under782
that division for any violation of division (A) of section 4511.19783

shall not place any offender sentenced to a mandatory prison term805
under this division in any intensive program prison established806

procedure pursuant to section 2901.07 of the Revised Code if812
either of the following applies:813

those duties and of their duration and, if required under division832
(A)(2) of section 2950.03 of the Revised Code, shall perform the833
duties specified in that section.834

       (J)(1) Except as provided in division (J)(2) of this835
section, when considering sentencing factors under this section in836
relation to an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to an837
attempt to commit an offense in violation of section 2923.02 of838
the Revised Code, the sentencing court shall consider the factors839
applicable to the felony category of the violation of section840

substance involved in the drug abuse offense, the sentencing court847
shall consider the factors applicable to the felony category that848
the drug abuse offense attempted would be if that drug abuse849
offense had been committed and had involved an amount or number of850
unit doses of the controlled substance that is within the next851
lower range of controlled substance amounts than was involved in852
the attempt.853

imprisonment is to be imposed, if the court imposing a sentence859
upon an offender for a felony elects or is required to impose a860

sentence upon the offender finds that the offender is guilty of a1038
specification of the type described in section 2941.1410 of the1039
Revised Code charging that the offender is a major drug offender,1040
or if the court imposing sentence upon an offender for a felony1041
finds that the offender is guilty of corrupt activity with the1042
most serious offense in the pattern of corrupt activity being a1043
felony of the first degree or is guilty of an attempted forcible1044
violation of section 2907.02 of the Revised Code with the victim1045

ten years, if the court, with respect to the term imposed under1054
division (D)(3)(a) of this section and, if applicable, divisions1055

committing a felony, if a mandatory prison term is imposed upon an1081
offender pursuant to division (D)(1)(c) of this section for1082
committing a felony specified in that division by discharging a1083

offender to serve the prison terms consecutively if the court1127
finds that the consecutive service is necessary to protect the1128
public from future crime or to punish the offender and that1129
consecutive sentences are not disproportionate to the seriousness1130
of the offender's conduct and to the danger the offender poses to1131
the public, and if the court also finds any of the following:1132

a prior offense.1137

       (b) TheAt least two of the multiple offenses were committed1138
as part of one or more courses of conduct, and the harm caused by1139
two or more of the multiple offenses so committed was so great or1140
unusual that no single prison term for any of the offenses1141
committed as part of a single courseany of the courses of conduct1142
adequately reflects the seriousness of the offender's conduct.1143

       (c) The offender's history of criminal conduct demonstrates1144
that consecutive sentences are necessary to protect the public1145
from future crime by the offender.1146

Revised Code, its reasons for imposing the maximum prison term.1318

committed an offense contained in Chapter 2925. or 3719. of the1544
Revised Code and for whom there was a presumption under section1545
2929.13 of the Revised Code in favor of a prison term, unless the1546
court, with reference to factors under section 2929.12 of the1547
Revised Code, finds both of the following:1548

       (a) That a sanction other than a prison term would1549
adequately punish the offender and protect the public from future1550
criminal violations by the eligible offender because the1551
applicable factors indicating a lesser likelihood of recidivism1552
outweigh the applicable factors indicating a greater likelihood of1553
recidivism;1554

       (b) That a sanction other than a prison term would not1555
demean the seriousness of the offense because factors indicating1556
that the eligible offender's conduct in committing the offense was1557
less serious than conduct normally constituting the offense1558
outweigh factors indicating that the eligible offender's conduct1559
was more serious than conduct normally constituting the offense.1560

       (2) A court that grants a judicial release to an eligible1561
offender under division (H)(1) of this section shall specify on1562
the record both findings required in that division and also shall1563
list all the factors described in that division that were1564
presented at the hearing.1565

       (I) If the court grants a motion for judicial release under1566
this section, the court shall order the release of the eligible1567
offender, shall place the eligible offender under an appropriate1568
community control sanction, under appropriate community control1569
conditions, and under the supervision of the department of1570
probation serving the court, and shall reserve the right to1571
reimpose the sentence that it reduced pursuant to the judicial1572
release if the offender violates the sanction. If the court1573
reimposes the reduced sentence pursuant to this reserved right, it1574
may do so either concurrently with, or consecutive to, any new1575
sentence imposed upon the eligible offender as a result of the1576
violation that is a new offense. The period of the community1577
control sanction shall be no longer than five years. The court,1578
in its discretion, may reduce the period of the community control1579
sanction by the amount of time the eligible offender spent in jail1580
for the offense and in prison. If the court made any findings1581
pursuant to division (H)(1) of this section, the court shall serve1582
a copy of the findings upon counsel for the parties within fifteen1583
days after the date on which the court grants the motion for1584
judicial release.1585

       Prior to being released pursuant to a judicial release1586
granted under this section, the eligible offender shall serve any1587
extension of sentence that was imposed under section 2967.11 of1588
the Revised Code.1589

       Sec. 2951.041.  (A)(1) If an offender is charged with a1590
criminal offense and the court has reason to believe that drug or1591
alcohol usage by the offender was a factor leading to the1592
offender's criminal behavior, the court may accept, prior to the1593
entry of a guilty plea, the offender's request for intervention in1594
lieu of conviction. The request shall include a waiver of the1595
defendant's right to a speedy trial, the preliminary hearing, the1596
time period within which the grand jury may consider an indictment1597
against the offender, and arraignment, unless the hearing,1598
indictment, or arraignment has already occurred. The court may1599
reject an offender's request without a hearing. If the court1600
elects to consider an offender's request, the court shall conduct1601
a hearing to determine whether the offender is eligible under this1602
section for intervention in lieu of conviction and shall stay all1603
criminal proceedings pending the outcome of the hearing. If the1604
court schedules a hearing, the court shall order an assessment of1605
the offender for the purpose of determining the offender's1606
eligibility for intervention in lieu of conviction and1607
recommending an appropriate intervention plan.1608

       (2) The victim notification provisions of division (C) of1609
section 2930.08 of the Revised Code apply in relation to any1610
hearing held under division (A)(1) of this section.1611

pleaded guilty to a felony, previously has not been through1615
intervention in lieu of conviction under this section or any1616
similar regimen, and is charged with a felony for which the court,1617

not a violation of division (A)(1) of section 2903.08 of the1623
Revised Code, is not a violation of division (A) of section1624
4511.19 of the Revised Code or a municipal ordinance that is1625
substantially similar to that division, and is not an offense for1626
which a sentencing court is required to impose a mandatory prison1627
term, a mandatory term of local incarceration, or a mandatory term1628
of imprisonment in a jail.1629

       (3)(c) The offender is not charged with a violation of1630
section 2925.02, 2925.03, 2925.04, or 2925.06, orof the Revised1631

being eligible for intervention in lieu of conviction under this1640
section.1641

licensed provider, certified facility, or licensed and1643
credentialed professional, including, but not limited to, a1644

purpose of determining the offender's eligibility for intervention1653

plan.1655

       (6)(f) The offender's drug or alcohol usage was a factor1656
leading to the criminal offense with which the offender is1657

reduce the likelihood of any future criminal activity.1660

       (7) The alleged victim of the offense was not sixty-five1661
years of age or older, permanently and totally disabled, under1662
thirteen years of age, or a peace officer engaged in the officer's1663

offender's request. If the court finds under division (B)(1) of1676
this section that the offender is eligible for treatment1677

the offender promptly shall advise the court of this failure, and1728
the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether the offender1729
failed to comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the1730
plan. If the court determines that the offender has failed to1731
comply with any of those terms and conditions, it shall enter a1732
