132 years ago on this date, 4 November 1886, the cornerstone of the Ohio State Reformatory was set. Due to funding issues, the reformatory completed construction and received its first 150 young offenders in September 1896. 155,000 men served time here by the time the reformatory closed on 31 December 1990.
