| Sec. 2967.14. (A) The adult parole authority may require
a | 8 |
|
parolee or releasee to reside in a halfway house or other suitable | 9 |
|
community residential center that has been licensed by the | 10 |
|
division of parole and community services pursuant to division (C) | 11 |
|
of this
section during a part
or for the entire period of the | 12 |
|
parolee's conditional release or of the
releasee's term of | 13 |
|
post-release control. The court of common pleas that
placed an | 14 |
|
offender under a sanction consisting of a term in a halfway house | 15 |
|
or
in an alternative residential sanction
may require the offender | 16 |
|
to reside in a halfway house or other
suitable community | 17 |
|
residential center that is designated by the court and
that has | 18 |
|
been licensed by the division pursuant to division (C)
of this | 19 |
|
section during a part or for the entire period of the
offender's | 20 |
|
residential sanction. | 21 |
| (B) The division of parole and community services may | 22 |
|
negotiate and enter into agreements
with any public or private | 23 |
|
agency or a department or political
subdivision of the state that | 24 |
|
operates a halfway house or
community residential center that has | 25 |
|
been licensed by the
division pursuant to division (C) of this | 26 |
|
section. An agreement
under this division shall provide for
the | 27 |
|
purchase of beds, shall set
limits of supervision and levels of | 28 |
|
occupancy, and shall determine
the scope of services for all | 29 |
|
eligible offenders, including those
subject to a residential | 30 |
|
sanction, as defined in rules adopted by
the director of | 31 |
|
rehabilitation and correction in accordance with
Chapter 119.
of | 32 |
|
the Revised Code.
The
payments
for beds and
services shall be | 33 |
|
equal to the halfway house's or community
residential center's | 34 |
|
average daily per capita costs with its
facility at full | 35 |
|
occupancy. The
payments
for beds and
services shall not
exceed the | 36 |
|
total operating costs of the halfway
house or
community | 37 |
|
residential center during the term of an
agreement.
The director | 38 |
|
of rehabilitation and correction shall
adopt rules
in accordance | 39 |
|
with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code
for
determining includable | 40 |
|
and excludable costs and income to be
used
in computing the | 41 |
|
agency's average daily per capita costs with
its
facility at full | 42 |
|
occupancy. | 43 |
| The department of rehabilitation and correction may use
no | 44 |
|
more than ten per cent of the amount appropriated to
the | 45 |
|
department each fiscal
year for the halfway house and
community | 46 |
|
residential center
program to pay for contracts for
nonresidential | 47 |
|
services for
offenders under the supervision of the
adult parole | 48 |
|
authority.
The nonresidential services may include,
but are not | 49 |
|
limited to,
treatment for
substance abuse, mental
health | 50 |
|
counseling,
and
counseling for sex offenders. | 51 |
| (C) The division of parole and community services may
license | 52 |
|
a halfway house
or community residential center as a
suitable | 53 |
|
facility for the
care and treatment of adult offenders, including | 54 |
|
offenders sentenced under section 2929.16 or 2929.26 of the | 55 |
|
Revised Code,
only if the halfway house
or community residential | 56 |
|
center complies
with the standards that
the division adopts in | 57 |
|
accordance with
Chapter 119. of the
Revised Code for the licensure | 58 |
|
of halfway
houses and community
residential centers. The division | 59 |
|
shall
annually inspect each
licensed halfway house and licensed | 60 |
|
community residential center
to determine if it is in compliance | 61 |
|
with the licensure standards. | 62 |
