Grafton Honor Farm reshaped into a modern correctional facility
The 1,782 acre Grafton Honor Farm in Ohio operates with minimal security and emphasizes rehabilitation. Restoration over three years cost more than $170,000 for dormitory and barn upgrades while guards note ongoing repairs and education for inmates. The facility houses up to 175 inmates and serves as a model for a proposed new northern Ohio medium security prison with 500 to 1,000 beds.
