The Ohio State Reformatory, also referred to as the Mansfield Reformatory, is a historic prison located in Mansfield, Ohio. Constructed between 1886 and 1896, it remained in operation until a 1990 federal court order required it to be closed. The facility is best known for its role in The Shawshank Redemption.
On July 30, 2012, Abandoned hosted a photography event at the Reformatory, which allowed for early entry into the former prison.

This is great. Thanks for sharing. Too bad the wall and the tree are largely off limits.
