The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC or ODRC) is the administrative department for the state of Ohio responsible for oversight of its adult prison system, along with its inmate population. Ohio's prison system is the sixth-largest in America, with 27 adult prisons and three facilities for juveniles. Inmates are classified with a security level of 1 through 4, including a special classification level of "E", with level 1 being the lowest and least restrictive, while level "E" is the highest, with the most restrictive security control measures in place. In December 2018, the number of inmates in Ohio totaled 49,255, with the prison system spending nearly $1.8 billion that year. ODRC headquarters are located in Columbus.

History

On April 11, 1993, a major riot broke out at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility that resulted in ten deaths. Nine inmates and one corrections officer were killed.

In 2019, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reported that the department's inspection office had a single full-time employee, and used interns to conduct inspections.

Death row

The majority of male death row inmates are held at the Ross Correctional Institution, while others are held at Franklin Medical Center, Ohio State Penitentiary, and Warren Correctional Institution. Some that are considered a high security risk are held at the Ohio State Penitentiary and those with serious medical conditions are held at the Franklin Medical Center. The main men's death row was previously held at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution from 2011 until 2024. Female death row inmates are housed in the Ohio Reformatory for Women.

The main men's death row had been scheduled to move from Chillicothe Correctional Institution to Toledo Correctional Institution in the summer of 2017, however those plans were delayed and ultimately cancelled in 2018. Executions occur at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility.

Fallen officers

Since the establishment of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, 26 officers have died in the line of duty.
