The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) announced changes in ownership and operation of five Ohio prisons designed to help improve staff and inmate safety, reduce daily operating expenses and reduce the state's long-term budget costs. Altogether, the changes are expected to provide an estimated $13 million in annual savings and 702 additional beds throughout Ohio's prison system to help ease overcrowding.
