Ohio’s prisons face staffing shortages, with some facilities reporting high vacancy rates despite state efforts to improve hiring and retention.
Ohio’s prison system remains understaffed, with Dayton Correctional Institution reporting the highest vacancy rate at 18.8%, followed by Lebanon at 11.5% and Warren at 2.4%, according to a Dayton Daily News investigation.
Though the state’s overall vacancy rate of 7.4% is among the lowest in the nation, officials acknowledge ongoing safety concerns.
Efforts including same-day job offers, streamlined hiring, cellphone access, and a record pay raise aim to improve recruitment and retention.
Lawmakers and staff continue to highlight the dangers of understaffing, particularly in high-risk facilities, stressing the need for sustained reform to ensure safer working conditions and long-term stability.
