I think there is many non criminals who will never do time in a prison that would probably love to come and rent a cell for a couple of days and stay as a guest in a place like this just to have a real life experience of what convicts must have had to endure for long terms in the past . What do you think? Please reply to me

Top 3 favourite for me and funnily enough the one of the other is a prison movie as well.

It’s awesome to see you go though the prison that The Shawshank Redemption was filmed in. It’s one of the best films ever made and it’s cool how places like this give tours as for many places similar to this either just shuts down again when the shooting of a film ends and nobody is allowed to go inside or the building or buildings are demolished and something else might be built in its place. Keep up the great work Chris, have a great rest of your day and take care!

I was born and raised in Ohio so the reformatory was still in use while I was still there. I didn’t know Shawshank Redemption was filmed there. Thanks for the tour Chris

Tells me that we have a government and a lot of local police departments that revolve around the almighty dollar.

Made me wanna rewatch the movie. So awesome to learn about the history of this place. Thanks for touring us, Chris.

I was just there a couple days ago. Never saw the movie but highly recommend touring the reformatory and paying a little extra for the Behind the Bars Tour. You won't be disappointed and all the proceeds go towards restoring the prison.

Great video thank you I live in Ohio myself & appreciate it when people showcase what our state has to offer

This is by far my most favorite movie of all time, the story is heartbreaking, Thank you for sharing

That’s a great movie. Watched it for probably the 20th time last weekend

Now I gotta go rewatch that movie.

Red never was good at math, apparently. 500 yards = 1,500 feet, which is not "just shy of half of a mile" which would be 880 yards or 2,640 feet.

I served time there from 1980 to 1984, 4 years. It was a living nightmare. The cells only had cold water, there was no hot water. A trustee would walk the ranges with a water can like they used at a gas station for filling radiators. You knew he was come cause he would be yelling "Hot Water!". The food was horrible. You would find rocks in it and Brooks wasn't joking about finding maggots in your food. Now, I know a lot of people say it's haunted, but, after being there for 4 years, I never seen or heard any ghost. Never heard any other inmates see or hear them either. So, if it is haunted, they came after I left. The thing that really surprised me was, I would see inmates return after being released and violating parole. Not me, that place straighten me right up. Another thing, it would be freezing in the winter time and scorching hot in the summer. When you first get put into population, you were celled on the second range. The first floor was to infested with rats to house inmates there. But as you did your time, you would get moved a lot. As time went by, you would slowly move up the ranges. The closer you get to the top, the closer you were to going home. But the problem was, as you moved up, the hotter it would get. My last 6 months was spent on the 6th floor, top range. It would get up to 100 degrees at night in the summer and 120-140 in the daytime. I remember when I first went in, I weighed about 240 lbs. When I got out, I weighed 125 lbs. It truly was cruel and inhumane punishment.

I'll just quote Mr. Dostoyevsky, because he is still right: 'A society should be judged not by how it treats it's citizens, but by the way it treats it's criminals' Of course, the US is still failing miserably on most counts. Not least because of the privatization & industrialization of punishment over actual rehabilitation.

Thanks very much for your video. I've watched just about every documentary ever made on the Mansfield Reformatory. Learning about the various stages of Work Farm to Incarceration, etc. It's fascinating! You've done a wonderful job, especially interspersing your video with cuts from the movie, great work!

Cool video, Chris. Shanks for uploading this and bringing us along. Shawshank Redemption is such a classic movie. One of the best ever made. It was cool to see behind this scenes with your tour. Have a good weekend. Thanks for all that you do to provide us with entertaining videos.

Great video man thank you so much. I love that movie. You have no idea how many times I watched it maybe 50 times that’s no joke. I wonder how they ended up with that boat and did they fix it up?

Man I love this. How they haven’t done it up and painted it.. it looks so cool. Thanks for the video!

You were less than a half an hour from my home. Thanks for covering the prison, and I hope you enjoyed your time in Ohio.

Awesome place and the movie was great.

Great video as always. I've been watching your vids since the Wraith location episode. Just wondering what tour you did since I will be visiting it soon. Thanks and Keep it up!

Hey Chris!!! I believe this bumped another video out of your "Top Ten." Very well done, IMO. It's not often after watching a video, that I stand and actually applaud. I did for this one. haha! *Roll on.*

Thanks for making this video. I have a big interest in architectural structures and how elegant most of them are and what the years do to them.

This is really interesting, thank you

They got the math wrong at the end. 500 yards = 1,500 feet, which is not "just shy of half of a mile" which would be 880 yards or 2,640 feet. Also, when Andy crawls out of his cell and breaks open the pipe with a rock, sewage sprays everywhere and is pressurized....yet how? The other end of the pipe was completely open, so that was impossible. One of my favorite movies, but they messed up on a lot of details that I would have expected them to get right. The opera song that Andy Dufresne plays over the loud speakers is Canzonetta Sull'aria from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Le nozze di Figaro".

Very interesting video man 🤙 I too saw this over a dozen times, the movie was written so well.

I've been through the Halloween Haunt at Mansfield several years. We started the haunt on the stairs at 20:45, going up into the offices, eventually through the mess area and cells. It's a fantastic haunted attraction.

I remember seeing parts of this place from US 30 back in the 70's and 80's and gave me the shivvers !!!

I can only imagine the psychological wear and tear of making the prisoners build their own wall to surround themselves in prison. That's pretty messed up.

very well done........ thankyou

ty for tour

Man that brings back memories. I lived not far from there and visited that place a few times.

Awesome videos😊

I hope you get 1 million hits on this one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on KZread

There are a few areas you need to get the guided to for them to be included. The one is a catwalk (west attic), that looks straight down you can see on the self guided tour somewhat through a door up on the top tier. Plus you were able to go in the yard and the guard tower (weather permitting though). Also the sub basement. I did the self guided and can't wait to go back and see the rest. One thing I learned was the shower scene where andy meets Boggs. That shower room actually you do not stay in place that one was called the car wash. As you actually walk continually supposedly to prevent soap dropping or things of the sort. Along with in theory at least a more efficient and consistent time for people to go through.

Now that was very very cool!!

Probably your best video.

It’s a beautiful building❤

Very cool. Remember first seeing this place on Scariest Places 07. GH was there in 05 but didn’t name it. GA followed with 09. 👻

Shawshank, one of the best films ever made. I remember seeing it when first released.

Thanks for the tour. Well done. Next, The Green Mile location.

The spiril stair case leads you to a cat walk where the guards would watch over the prison. I had the opportunity to walk up it,see the guard tower, see the other correctional facility, the inmates walking around 😅 tim Robins was apparently not very pleasant with coworkers during the movie set,was very difficult to work with, a Germaphobic. Morgan Freeman was cordial, pleasant to work with. I have been here b4, and it's definitely a great place to visit

This was very interesting. 👍

insane building

Love the content I went 20 years ago when they did a yearly haunted house, which is awesome at the prison I don’t know if they still do it or not

That place is amazingly huge.

That was a great movie!!

Morgan Freeman starred in a movie that was made here decades ago; does anyone else remember "Brubaker"?!

This was a Great Story of a Movie. They dont make Movies no more like this!

Nice job doing a video. when I went to the prison I try to do a video of the place didn't work out.
