History

On 11 April 1993, a major riot broke out at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility that resulted in ten deaths.[4] Nine inmates and one corrections officer were killed.[4]

Death row

The majority of male death row inmates are held at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution, while some that are considered a high security risk are held at the Ohio State Penitentiary and those with serious medical conditions are held at the Franklin Medical Center. Death row had been scheduled to move from Chillicothe Correctional Institution to Toledo Correctional Institution in the summer of 2017, however those plans were delayed and ultimately cancelled in 2018 and death row remains at Chillicothe. Female death row inmates are housed in the Ohio Reformatory for Women. Executions occur at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility.[5][6] Information on death row inmates can be found here, the execution schedule here and execution history here.

Fallen officers

Since the establishment of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, 20 officers have died in the line of duty.[7]
