may prepare and issue a correction to the judgment of conviction that includes in
the judgment of conviction the statement that the offender may be supervised under section 2967.28 of the Revised Code after the offender leaves prison. (2) If a court prepares and issues a correction to a judgment of conviction as described
in division (A)(1) of this section before the offender is released from imprisonment
under the prison term the court imposed prior to July 11, 2006, the court shall place
upon the journal of the court an entry nunc pro tunc to record the correction to the
judgment of conviction and shall provide a copy of the entry to the offender or, if
the offender is not physically present at the hearing, shall send a copy of the entry
to the department of rehabilitation and correction for delivery to the offender. If the court sends a copy of the entry to the department, the department promptly
shall deliver a copy of the entry to the offender. The court's placement upon the journal of the entry nunc pro tunc before the offender
is released from imprisonment under the term shall be considered, and shall have the
same effect, as if the court at the time of original sentencing had included the statement
in the sentence and the judgment of conviction entered on the journal and had notified
the offender that the offender will be so supervised regarding a sentence including
a prison term of a type described in division (B)(2)(d) of section 2929.19 of the Revised Code or that the offender may be so supervised regarding a sentence including a prison
term of a type described in division (B)(2)(e) of that section. (B)(1) If, prior to July 11, 2006, a court imposed a sentence including a prison term and

of supervision or a condition of post-release control or to include in the judgment
of conviction entered on the journal a statement to that effect, at any time before
the offender is released from imprisonment under that term and at a hearing conducted
in accordance with division (C) of this section, the court may prepare and issue a
correction to the judgment of conviction that includes in the judgment of conviction
the statement that if a period of supervision is imposed following the offender's
release from prison, as described in division (B)(2)(d) or (e) of section 2929.19
of the Revised Code, and if the offender violates that supervision or a condition
of post-release control imposed under division (B) of section 2967.131 of the Revised Code the parole board may impose as part of the sentence a prison term of up to one-half
of the stated prison term originally imposed upon the offender. (2) If the court prepares and issues a correction to a judgment of conviction as described
in division (B)(1) of this section before the offender is released from imprisonment
under the term, the court shall place upon the journal of the court an entry nunc
pro tunc to record the correction to the judgment of conviction and shall provide
a copy of the entry to the offender or, if the offender is not physically present
at the hearing, shall send a copy of the entry to the department of rehabilitation
and correction for delivery to the offender. If the court sends a copy of the entry to the department, the department promptly
shall deliver a copy of the entry to the offender. The court's placement upon the journal of the entry nunc pro tunc before the offender
is released from imprisonment under the term shall be considered, and shall have the
same effect, as if the court at the time of original sentencing had included the statement
in the judgment of conviction entered on the journal and had notified the offender
pursuant to division (B)(2)(f) of section 2929.19 of the Revised Code regarding the possibility of the parole board imposing a prison term for a violation
of supervision or a condition of post-release control. (C) On and after July 11, 2006, a court that wishes to prepare and issue a correction
to a judgment of conviction of a type described in division (A)(1) or (B)(1) of this
section shall not issue the correction until after the court has conducted a hearing
in accordance with this division. Before a court holds a hearing pursuant to this division, the court shall provide
notice of the date, time, place, and purpose of the hearing to the offender who is
the subject of the hearing, the prosecuting attorney of the county, and the department
of rehabilitation and correction. The offender has the right to be physically present at the hearing, except that,
upon the court's own motion or the motion of the offender or the prosecuting attorney,
the court may permit the offender to appear at the hearing by video conferencing equipment
if available and compatible. An appearance by video conferencing equipment pursuant to this division has the
same force and effect as if the offender were physically present at the hearing. At the hearing, the offender and the prosecuting attorney may make a statement as
to whether the court should issue a correction to the judgment of conviction.
