FAQ
Offenders sent to prison will generally serve 80% or more of their sentence, plus several years on PRC (if applicable). The rules on release vary depending on whether an offender is sentenced to a minimum and maximum term (most first- and second-degree felonies) or a set term (all other felonies).
Some Class C or 3 felonies might carry maximum prison sentences of only 1 to 5 years, whereas other states could have maximum penalties of 10 or 15 years. Most felony statutes indicate a maximum sentence but not necessarily a minimum sentence.
The least serious misdemeanors are classified as Class C or Level Three. These crimes can result in fines and jail time of up to a year, and may also offer the chance of probation.
A defendant convicted of a third-degree felony faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. (This maximum can increase if the offender used a dangerous weapon, commits repeat felonies, or other factors exist.) Repeat stalking and child endangerment (exposure to drugs) are third-degree felonies.
Ohio felony sentencing laws may also impose mandatory prison terms in some cases. For example, Ohio requires mandatory sentences for aggravated murder, murder, rape, or attempted rape of a child under the age of 13, and first- or second-degree felony drug trafficking.

A felony of the 3rd degree in Ohio is normally sentenced to probation or 9, 12, 18, 24, 30 or 36 months in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Ohio sentencing guidelines are recommendations that judges use to determine the appropriate punishment for a criminal conviction. The guidelines are based on several factors, including the severity of the offense, the offender's prior criminal record, and any mitigating or aggravating factors.
If a person charged with a class 3 felony has never been convicted of a felony before, then probation may be an option.
