Lausche weighs special session on $12 million prison plan
Gov. Frank Lausche considers calling a December special session to review an $12 million prison modernization program. The plan would convert Mansfield Reformatory to a medium security prison, run Marion Training School as a reformatory, and use Roseville for handicapped and unemployable inmates. London would stay a prison farm. Ohio Penitentiary would hold maximum security offenders and serve as a reception center. A new mental hospital near Columbus or Tiffin and Lima State Hospital reallocation are proposed.
