Reformatory (OSR), also known as the Mansfield Reformatory, is a historic prison
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison] located in Mansfield
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansfield,_Ohio], Ohio
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio] in the United States
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States]. It was built between 1886 and
1910 and remained in operation until 1990 when a United States Federal Court
ruling (the 'Boyd Consent Decree') ordered the facility to be closed. While this
facility was seen in a number of films (including several while the facility was
still in operation), TV shows, and music videos, it was made famous by the film
The Shawshank Redemption
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shawshank_Redemption] (1994) when it was used
for most scenes of the movie.
