Ohio will sell a prison to Corrections Corp. of America Inc. for $72.7 million and has decided to keep four others for which it sought offers.
The state will sell the Lake Erie Correctional Institution in Ashtabula County to Nashville-based CCA, the Rehabilitation and Correction Department said in a release today. It will hire Management & Training Corp. of Centerville, Utah, to run two facilities in Marion. Ohio also will combine state and privately run prisons to create one government-operated complex in Lorain County, the department said.
