• 2021 Ohio 778

Syllabus

Appellant's indefinite sentence is not unconstitutional as the Reagan Tokes Law, specifically R.C. 2967.271, does not violate an offender's due process rights as guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 16 of the Ohio Constitution as the statute provides an inmate with notice and an opportunity to be heard at the hearing where the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction may rebut the presumption that the offender will be released on his or her minimum prison term or presumptive earned early release date, whichever is earlier.
