Line 22:

[[Hope Taft]], wife of [[Bob Taft]] who was the Governor of Ohio from 1999 to 2007, approached the administration at [[Pickaway Correctional Institution]] in 2000 regarding the establishment of a reading room for children who visit the prison. The idea spread statewide and the room has been built in all 32 institutions that comprise the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction including the Allen Correctional Institution. Each room has an inmate narrator who reads to visiting children twice a day.

On Sept. 11th, 2014, [[Chardon High School shooting]] perpetrator T.J. Lane and 2 other inmates escaped from the prison. Lane had been a difficult inmate, disciplined 7 times during his 18 months in prison since being sentence to 3 life sentences for the shooting deaths of 3 high school students. <ref>http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2014/09/chardon_high_school_shooter_tj.html</ref>
