NEWS RELEASE
(Columbus)--- The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) has changed the time of executions. Executions were previously scheduled at 9:00 p.m.; future executions will be carried out at 10:00 a.m.
The reasons for changing the time are as follows:
· Consolidating the execution to a single shift decreases overtime costs
· Carrying out the execution during normal business hours allows for better communication with and availability of various stakeholders, as well as less disruption to normal prison operations
