Sec. 5120.11. Within the department of rehabilitation and | 9 |
correction, there shall be established and maintained a bureau of | 10 |
examination and classification. The bureau shall conduct or | 11 |
provide for sociological, psychological, and psychiatric | 12 |
examination of each inmate of the correctional institutions. The | 13 |
examination
shall be made as soon as possible
after each inmate is | 14 |
admitted to any of the institutions, and
further examinations may | 15 |
be made, if it is advisable. If the
inmate is determined to be a | 16 |
mentally retarded or developmentally
disabled person, as defined | 17 |
in section 5123.01 of the Revised
Code, the bureau shall notify | 18 |
the sentencing court in writing of
its determination within | 19 |
forty-five days after sentencing. | 20 |
At the time of the examination, unless contraindicated | 21 |
because of the nature of the sentence, the bureau also shall | 22 |
prepare a written re-entry plan for each inmate to assist in the | 23 |
inmate's re-entry into the community and to assess the inmate's | 24 |
needs upon release. The department shall adopt rules under Chapter | 25 |
119. of the Revised Code that establish standards to be used by | 26 |
the bureau in
preparing re-entry plans. | 27 |
Subject to division (C) of section 5120.21 of the Revised | 31 |
Code, the bureau shall keep a record of the health, activities, | 32 |
and behavior of each inmate while the inmate is in the custody of | 33 |
the
state. The records, including the findings and
recommendations | 34 |
of the bureau, shall be made available to the adult parole | 35 |
authority for use in imposing post-release control sanctions
under | 36 |
section 2967.28 of the Revised Code or any other section of the | 37 |
Revised
Code, in
granting
parole, and in making parole, | 38 |
post-release, and
rehabilitation plans for the inmate when the | 39 |
inmate leaves the
institution,
and to the department for its use | 40 |
in approving
transfers of inmates from one institution to another. | 41 |
