Criminal Justice Transparency and Accountability

Support HB31

Take One Small Step

Dear Official(s),

I’m writing as a concerned constituent to urge you to support House Bill 31, which would require the electronic recording of all parole board hearings and make those recordings publicly accessible.
This bill is a vital step toward increasing transparency and accountability in Ohio’s criminal justice system. Parole decisions have a profound impact on individuals, families, and communities, and it’s essential that these decisions are made in a process that is open to public scrutiny. By making hearings more transparent, HB31 helps ensure fairness, build public trust, and uphold the values of justice and due process.
I believe that all Ohioans deserve a system that operates with integrity and openness. Please stand with your constituents and support HB31.

Ohio House Bill 31 is a crucial step toward ensuring transparency and accountability in the state’s criminal justice system. By requiring all parole board hearings to be electronically recorded and made publicly accessible, this bill empowers families, advocates, and the broader community to better understand how parole decisions are made. It helps build trust in the system by shedding light on a process that has historically operated behind closed doors. Passing HB31 would not only uphold the public’s right to know but also encourage fairness and consistency in decisions that deeply affect people’s lives.
