Ohio State Reformatory and Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society

Mansfield, Ohio

Culture, History, Historic House, Historical Society, Specialized

The goal of the institution was truly to “reform” and rehabilitate its inmates, who received three things during their time at OSR: religion, education, and a trade. Inmates were admitted for 18 months, and if they showed progress, they could be released after that time. If not, they received another 18 months. The model was successful and OSR had a high success rate and a low recidivism rate.
