Background
Marion Correctional Institution (MCI) is a state-operated prison for men located in Marion, Ohio. The prison houses inmates with a security classification of Level 1 or 2. It dates back to the establishment of its precursor in 1948, which occupied the location of a facility that housed German prisoners of war during World War II. Over the years, it housed inmates transferred from other correctional institutions, leading to the construction of the Marion Correctional Institution in 1952. The institution has hosted various inmate programs, legal interventions, and events. Marion Correctional Institution introduced initiatives such as the "Project Newgate" college program in the 1970s, offering educational opportunities to inmates before their release.
