Want to get off your postrelease control early?

June 10, 2011

Are you on post-release control in Ohio and you want to end your PRC? You may be able to. You'll have to check your sentencing entry and maybe the transcript from your sentencing hearing. If the trial judge failed to properly notify you about the PRC you faced, your post-release control could be void. Since you completed your prison term, the trial court cannot fix the problem and your PRC would be terminated. That is what happened in State v. Adkins, 2011-Ohio-2819.
