Ohio Revised Code 5120.01 authorizes the Director of the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, as the executive head of the department, to direct the total operations and management of the department by establishing procedures as set forth in this policy.
The purpose of this policy is to regulate the routine reports that institutions are required to submit to the Operation Support Center (OSC).
This policy applies to all institution staff employed by or under contract with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) and to the OSC staff who monitor activities within the institutions.
The definitions for the below terms can be found at the top of the policies page on the ODRC Intranet.
It is the policy of the ODRC to ensure adequate communication from the institutions to the OSC for the purpose of decision making and monitoring of institution activities.
This policy shall govern the routine reports institution staff are required to submit to the OSC divisions, offices, or bureaus. These reports are in writing and include major developments in each department or administrative unit, major incidents, population data, assessments of staff and incarcerated person (IP) morale, and major problems and plans for solving them. No area of OSC shall require institutions to submit additional routine reports without discussion with and approval of the Office of Prison (OOP). The purpose of this review shall be to determine if the information requested is already being gathered in another form or can be accessed in another manner.
OSC administrators shall work to eliminate redundant reporting requirements and should not require paper reporting of items that are reported in an electronic reporting system. Institution staff are encouraged to report redundant and/or inefficient reporting requirements to the OOP for consideration.
Each institution is required to submit the following reports to the specific OSC area in the timeframe specified.
