COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio lawmakers are undermining attempts to reduce the state's prison population by continuing to introduce tough-on-crime bills that have the opposite effect, policy groups on the left and the right said Wednesday. Lawmakers introduced 54 bills in the first six months of the current session that would send more people to jail or prison, or just over one of every 10 bills at the Statehouse, according to a report by the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio. The ACLU, the state Public Defender's Office and the conservative Buckeye Institute say lawmakers are pushing the bills even as a committee studies changes to Ohio's criminal code that could reduce the number of people who are incarcerated.
