Hi all! I was wondering if anyone on the list can tell me where the penitentiary was in the late 1800's for prisoners from Huron Co. I am tracing the life of one of my husbands ancestors and he was sent to the pen for a year at hard labor in 1885, I'm curious to know where that would have been. Thank you!

The Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus was open at that time. The Ohio State Boys Reformatory in Mansfield opened in 1886 and was closed around 1990. The "Pen" closed in the 1970s or 1980s and was torn down. The reformatory was replaced by Mansfield Correctional Institution and the Ohio State Penitentiary in Columbus was replaced by the new Ohio State Penitentiary (Supermax) in Youngstown. "S.

He could have been sent to the Mansfield Reformitory. Check the Richland Co. pages. "S. Reynolds" wrote: > Hi all!
