Old prison gives shelter, fun Organize

FORMATION
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The
old Ohio Penitentiary, an evil place
in prison annals of the world for 150
years, apparently is becoming a ha
ven for the homeless and a target for
juvenile vandalism since it closed
several years ago.
Intruders leave signs of their
presence inside the 22 acres of
prime real estate surrounded by
crumbling stone walls. Some may
have been homeless people seeking
shelter, or children seeking excite
ment.
Though they’ve left evidence of
their presence, no intruders have
been caught inside the walls that
once housed such convicts as Con
federate rebel John H. Morgan, and
William Sidney Porter, better known
as story writer O’Henry.
State officials try to prevent unau
thorized entry to the prison, and a
security team checks the buildings
and grounds several times a week.
An empty champagne Bottle lies
in the courtyard. A rusting beer can
rests in a holy water font in the
prison chapel.
Many windows are broken in the
prison and a cold wind blows rain
and snow into buildings, contribut
ing to decay. Peeling paint hangs,
from ceilings and trash is piled in
spots.
and litter the floors with droppings.
It is an expensive nest.
The land, just northwest of Co
lumbus’ main business district, has
been appraised at more than $12
million.

velopment Commission is to decide
in the next year what should be done
with the site.

Studying need not be difficult,
