§ 2935.14.
If the person arrested is unable to offer sufficient bail or, if the offense charged
be a felony, he shall, prior to being confined or removed from the county of arrest,
as the case may be, be speedily permitted facilities to communicate with an attorney
at law of his own choice, or to communicate with at least one relative or other person
for the purpose of obtaining counsel (or in cases of misdemeanors or ordinance violation
for the purpose of arranging bail). He shall not thereafter be confined or removed from the county or from the situs
of initial detention until such attorney has had reasonable opportunity to confer
with him privately, or other person to arrange bail, under such security measures
as may be necessary under the circumstances. Whoever, being a police officer in charge of a prisoner, or the custodian of any jail
or place of confinement, violates this section shall be fined not less than one hundred
nor more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.
