According to the most recent statewide estimate in 2018, there were more than 12,000 people held in jail pretrial on any given day in Ohio, at an estimated cost to the state of between $300 and $400 million annually. That's according to a report released by the ACLU of Ohio, which finds that Ohioans could save between $199 and $264 million per year by not incarcerating people before trial in the vast majority of cases.
