ODRC Disciplines Four Employees For September Prison Escape

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections has disciplined four employees for lapses that helped the Chardon High School shooter and two other inmates escape from the Allen Correctional Institution near Lima last September. The department says a technician failed to report he had not repaired a security camera, a maintenance supervisor and a repair worker put the wrong kind of lock on a door and a guard failed to properly conduct rounds. Each have been suspended for one or two days. The agency previously reassigned the warden and demoted the deputy warden.
