Penalties for Criminal Conviction

Even for lesser misdemeanor offenses, the penalties for conviction of criminal acts in Ohio can be significant. Misdemeanor convictions can result in up to six months in jail and thousands of dollars in fines on top of court costs and other fees. Penalties can include community service, drug and alcohol education programs, ignition interlock devices, restitution, and other punishment.

Felony convictions are even more serious, with penalties that include a minimum of one year in prison up to a lifetime behind bars. A conviction for a felony offense also comes with additional limitations upon release, including a prohibition on possessing a firearm, voting, communicating with others convicted of felony offenses, and more. Criminal conviction at any level also results in a permanent criminal record, which will show up on every background check for school, jobs, and housing that can follow a person for the rest of their life.
