No Merry Christmas for Ohio's Most Noted Convict
George "Jiggs" Losteiner, labeled Ohio's most desperate criminal, spends every Christmas in solitary confinement at the Ohio State Penitentiary. His victim, Patrolman Patrick Gaffney, died on Christmas Day 1920 after a holdup, leading to a life sentence with annual isolation. His routine includes 7am removal to the dungeon, six hours in near darkness, then return to a planing mill day shift. Once famed for a 1926 escape attempt, Losteiner has since calmed and now works daily, his Christmas ritual marking a grim, solitary observance.
