(Translated by Google) I have a son there 4 years ago with a sentence of 8 and the only thing that food is disgusting is nothing close to being able to eat it, I wish there were more work programs, I was visiting 2 years ago and the person who received us was very kind and decent (Original) Tengo un hijo ahí hace 4 años con una condena de 8 y lo único que la comida es un asco nada cerca de poder comerse, desearía que hubiera mas programas de trabajo, estube hace 2 años de visita y la persona que nos recibieron fueron muy amables y decentes

Dilapidated, old, dirty building, vending machines are ridiculously high price and the staff disrespect the visitors like they're the prisoners. No reason to be scared though. Go for your short visit and don't let this discourage you from spending time with your loved ones. I've been many times and everything goes fine. I just felt it was necessary to let this be known in hopes that someone who has a heart may do something to improve the situation.

There was a time when this and other prisons in Ohio were, In fact, correctional and rehabilitative. In fact, London had a working dairy farm where convicts could learn agricultural skills, as well as an "in house" water treatment plant in which men could learn useful and marketable skills that were transferrable to the real world. I know of two men who left prison with skills and licenses that got them positions in, respectively, a major brewery and a municipal water system. Both of these programs have been closed, the explanation being given that thee administrative load of actually having rehabilitation and correction in a prison was more than the warden wanted to deal with
