Lucasville Riot

Send us Fan Mail

Today we discuss a famous prison uprising that happened in an Ohio prison in the early 1990's. The Lucasville Riot is probably the most famous prison incident in Ohio and is still referenced widely today when policy and reform are spoken of. Sadly this avoidable situation ended in the deaths of both guards and inmates, but we can only hope that their deaths were not in vein.
