Rule 5120:1-1-33 | Release to state or federal detainer.

(2) The procedures in section 2941.401 of the Revised Code.

(B) At least thirty days prior to the scheduled release of any such inmate, notification of the pending release date shall be communicated to the authority that placed the detainer. Such notice shall be given without regard to whether or not the release is pursuant to rule 5120:1-1-10 of the Administrative Code or upon completion of maximum sentence.

(C) Inmates subject to detainer upon completion of maximum sentence shall be released on the date specified.

(E) If the detainer is from another state and the inmate has declined to waive extradition, the inmate shall be delivered on the scheduled release date to the sheriff of the county in which the inmate is incarcerated pending extradition to the detaining authority.
