My dad worked in the Ohio State Reformatory for a year or two before they closed it, and moved everyone a mile up the road. He was an extra in Shawshank. I wasn't there during the filming (because I was 5), nor do I remember the time.<p>There are still tours through the old reformatory. I've been there a few times during Halloween.<p><a href="http://www.mrps.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mrps.org/</a>
