The Ohio State Reformatory, also known as the Mansfield Reformatory, is a historic prison located in Mansfield, Ohio in the United States. It was built between 1886 and 1910 and remained in operation until 1990, when a United States Federal Court ruling ordered the facility to be closed. While this facility was seen in a number of films, TV shows and music videos, it was made famous by the film The Shawshank Redemption when it was used for most scenes of the movie.
The Ohio State Reformatory is currently open to tourists Thursday-Monday, November 1st-March 31st, 11am-4pm and 7 days a week, April 1st-October 31st, 11am-4pm. Extended summer hours, 10am-4pm, Memorial Day-Labor Day, are offered on Saturdays and Sundays.
