- The Shawshank Redemption was filmed in in Mansfield, Ohio at an old prison called the Ohio State Reformatory. Taking a tour of this amazing old prison is absolutely worth the time and money.

Shawshank Redemption One of the best movies ever made. 👏🏻👊🏻👍🏻
I was born and raised in Ohio so the reformatory was still in use while I was still there. I didn’t know Shawshank Redemption was filmed there. Thanks for the tour Chris
It’s awesome to see you go though the prison that The Shawshank Redemption was filmed in. It’s one of the best films ever made and it’s cool how places like this give tours as for many places similar to this either just shuts down again when the shooting of a film ends and nobody is allowed to go inside or the building or buildings are demolished and something else might be built in its place. Keep up the great work Chris, have a great rest of your day and take care!
I was just there a couple days ago. Never saw the movie but highly recommend touring the reformatory and paying a little extra for the Behind the Bars Tour. You won't be disappointed and all the proceeds go towards restoring the prison.
I can't fathom having never seen this movie, let alone touring the prison without having seen the movie. Please watch it! You won't be disappointed.
@@NeighborhoodOfBlue I plan on it!
Made me wanna rewatch the movie. So awesome to learn about the history of this place. Thanks for touring us, Chris.
I served time there from 1980 to 1984, 4 years. It was a living nightmare. The cells only had cold water, there was no hot water. A trustee would walk the ranges with a water can like they used at a gas station for filling radiators. You knew he was come cause he would be yelling "Hot Water!". The food was horrible. You would find rocks in it and Brooks wasn't joking about finding maggots in your food. Now, I know a lot of people say it's haunted, but, after being there for 4 years, I never seen or heard any ghost. Never heard any other inmates see or hear them either. So, if it is haunted, they came after I left. The thing that really surprised me was, I would see inmates return after being released and violating parole. Not me, that place straighten me right up. Another thing, it would be freezing in the winter time and scorching hot in the summer. When you first get put into population, you were celled on the second range. The first floor was to infested with rats to house inmates there. But as you did your time, you would get moved a lot. As time went by, you would slowly move up the ranges. The closer you get to the top, the closer you were to going home. But the problem was, as you moved up, the hotter it would get. My last 6 months was spent on the 6th floor, top range. It would get up to 100 degrees at night in the summer and 120-140 in the daytime. I remember when I first went in, I weighed about 240 lbs. When I got out, I weighed 125 lbs. It truly was cruel and inhumane punishment.
Yo I got there right after you left 137327 made it to j dorm worked greenhouse cut the grass around the headstones slaughterhouse 7 cows everyday 25 pigs on Wednesdays plus we had 48.000 chickens worked 7 days 18.00 bucks a month enjoy your life brother
119753 funny how you never forget your name!
How old were you when you did the four years? I know it was about 40 years ago. Thanks for the interesting information and for commenting on the video.
I knew Andy Defresne, and Red. We use to play chess together. Than one day, our friend Brooks was unexpectedly paroled.
@@1martymcfly298 I was 18, got out when I was 22
This facility is close to my home. I have visited a few times. You did a great job capturing the best points of interest of the tour. Thanks for this great, well presented video. Thanks, Chris. Great job as usual
I'm always amazed at how quickly things deteriorate if not maintained.
Except Roman roads
This is by far my most favorite movie of all time, the story is heartbreaking, Thank you for sharing
Great video thank you I live in Ohio myself & appreciate it when people showcase what our state has to offer
"Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit-smelling foulness I can't even imagine- or maybe I just don't want to. Five hundred yards... that's the length of five football fields; just shy of half a mile." Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding
He must have had a hell of an immune system.
Red never was good at math, apparently. 500 yards = 1,500 feet, which is not "just shy of half of a mile" which would be 880 yards or 2,640 feet.
I can repeat that in my soul, you can literally feel the heartache in Red's voice, beautiful comment ya know that's life for us all I'm afraid
@@AlonnahCasey one of my favorite movie quote and I can't hear it with hearing Morgan Freeman's voice. Lol
@@jodysales2362 facts cookie 🍪
Now I gotta go rewatch that movie.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to take a glance of how looks like this place. I'm a fan of that movie, it's a masterpiece, I watched it several times, never tired and always noticing new details. Thank you so much
Greatest movie of all time.
Thats a fact.
Wow this is one AWESOME video! From one of my all-time favorite movies. Thank you.
funny how the inmates had the balls to sue this particular prison for inhumane conditions, and yet, look at the crimes they committed that brought them there in the first place. what does that tell you??
That you have no problem sounding like a sociopath
It tells me the world is topsy turvy!!!!
I'll just quote Mr. Dostoyevsky, because he is still right:
'A society should be judged not by how it treats it's citizens, but by the way it treats it's criminals'
Of course, the US is still failing miserably on most counts. Not least because of the privatization & industrialization of punishment over actual rehabilitation.
That humane conditions matter, and that torture doesn't lead to reform.
@@Ganiscol You are a good person
FANTASTIC..ONE OF MY FAV CHRIS,THANK YOU,,SAFE TRAVELS
Loved this tour thanks Chris. One of my favourite movies
A little trivia for you, Morgan Freeman was also in the movie Brubaker with Robert Redford in 1980.filmed in Town of Junction City Ohio, Morgan had a small part in it playing an inmate in solitaire.that prison is no longer standing.i lived about 8 miles away from it.some of my friends were extras in the prison yard seens.i love both movies.
That’s a great movie. Watched it for probably the 20th time last weekend
Thank you for the wonderful video,it was an excellent movie!🤔💯👍!
Excellent tour of one of the best movies ever made. Thanks Chris.
They got the math wrong at the end. 500 yards = 1,500 feet, which is not "just shy of half of a mile" which would be 880 yards or 2,640 feet. Also, when Andy crawls out of his cell and breaks open the pipe with a rock, sewage sprays everywhere and is pressurized....yet how? The other end of the pipe was completely open, so that was impossible. One of my favorite movies, but they messed up on a lot of details that I would have expected them to get right. The opera song that Andy Dufresne plays over the loud speakers is Canzonetta Sull'aria from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Le nozze di Figaro".
the methane in that pipe would have killed him before he made it out
@@miuqe1468 That too.
Yep. This movie would have been categorized under fiction in Brooks' library.
@@minimumrage323 Right next to Alexandre Dumazz according to Heywood.
Thanks for sharing! Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite movies ❤
in the 70s i had a bad drug problem and i was here for 4 long yrs roaches crawling out of ur eggs on yhe plate ..violent stabbings rapes in the shower screams at night from new guys getting raped ...taught me to behave for the rest of my life..

My top 3 favorite movies of all time. This video was AWESOME. I have to visit before I’m done on this earth.
Fantastic tour!TY
Thank you, Chris! ❤
Thanks for taking us on this tour with you, had no idea that movie was filmed here. I'm not too far from the area, might have to take a tour of it.
Thanks for the tour! 👍
What a treat! Thank you for this😊
love this!....one of fav from your channel ...great job!
Amazing tour, thanks Chris!!
Cool tour. Awesome to see all the cool stuff
Cool video, Chris. Shanks for uploading this and bringing us along. Shawshank Redemption is such a classic movie. One of the best ever made. It was cool to see behind this scenes with your tour. Have a good weekend. Thanks for all that you do to provide us with entertaining videos.
Thanks very much for your video. I've watched just about every documentary ever made on the Mansfield Reformatory. Learning about the various stages of Work Farm to Incarceration, etc. It's fascinating! You've done a wonderful job, especially interspersing your video with cuts from the movie, great work!
Chris Thank-you!! One of my favorite movies!! So cool to see this!!!!❤
Very interesting and informative, thanks for the tour Chris !
Fascinating tour I need to visit Im about 1 hour north of Mansfield in Ohio
Awesome video. Thanks! Loved the Shawshank redemption movie.
Awesome video thanks for sharing this !
There are a few areas you need to get the guided to for them to be included. The one is a catwalk (west attic), that looks straight down you can see on the self guided tour somewhat through a door up on the top tier. Plus you were able to go in the yard and the guard tower (weather permitting though). Also the sub basement. I did the self guided and can't wait to go back and see the rest. One thing I learned was the shower scene where andy meets Boggs. That shower room actually you do not stay in place that one was called the car wash. As you actually walk continually supposedly to prevent soap dropping or things of the sort. Along with in theory at least a more efficient and consistent time for people to go through.
Great video man thank you so much. I love that movie. You have no idea how many times I watched it maybe 50 times that’s no joke. I wonder how they ended up with that boat and did they fix it up?
Thank you Chris!! Great tour. Very informative. I've seen the movie About a dozen Times. 💓
I've been through the Halloween Haunt at Mansfield several years. We started the haunt on the stairs at 20:45, going up into the offices, eventually through the mess area and cells. It's a fantastic haunted attraction.
I enjoyed the movie Shawshank Redemption, and I enjoyed the tour of the prison it was filmed in. The chapels condition is so sad. I remember the video you did at the prison in New Jersey. This was very interesting! Thank you, Chris.
My favorite movie---thank You !!!

THE PRISON JAILS LOOKED LIKE A GIANT HUMAN ,,BIRD CAGE LOOKING UP AND DOWN.. THANKS ,, CHRIS...
Hey Chris!!! I believe this bumped another video out of your "Top Ten." Very well done, IMO. It's not often after watching a video, that I stand and actually applaud. I did for this one. haha! *Roll on.*
very well done........ thankyou
It’s a beautiful building❤
Awesome videos😊
You were less than a half an hour from my home. Thanks for covering the prison, and I hope you enjoyed your time in Ohio.
I hope you get 1 million hits on this one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on TH-cam
I remember seeing parts of this place from US 30 back in the 70's and 80's and gave me the shivvers !!!
This is really cool! I would love to visit someday
Now that was very very cool!!
Very cool. Remember first seeing this place on Scariest Places 07. GH was there in 05 but didn’t name it. GA followed with 09. 👻
Probably your best video.
One of my favorite films 🎬
2nd Video love prison history , I visit prisons and police stations in Scotland .
This was a Great Story of a Movie. They dont make Movies no more like this!
This was very interesting. 👍
Brooks was here, So was Red, Now Chris.
That’s very cool! 🎉
Love the content I went 20 years ago when they did a yearly haunted house, which is awesome at the prison I don’t know if they still do it or not
Wow I really loved seeing this you have such great content I love everything about it thank you for sharing this I would like to see more like this and I enjoyed the video that you and Lamont did on Emmitt till that young man suffered beyond belief plz do more content like this thank you again can you do one on auchwitz I hope I got that right
Ohhh, I’ve been there numerous times, let me tell ya, some of those prisoners have never left. Serious paranormal activity there. Great vid!
Exactly
Dude, I love the content, but I feel like I need to send you a Olight marauder mini LED flashlight, to help you out with your lighting that would make a big difference in your videos then a camera light or a lot of the other videos I watch. For example, this one in the dark cell. but when you do caves, etc., that flashlight would definitely enhance your content to have much cleaner brighter light
That was a great movie!!
You gave me the dime tour, thank you Sir
insane building
I'm a lifelong resident of Mansfield and have never taken the tour, thanks for the video.
I visited this place before and it is huge plus you can take haunted ghost tours also
loved it
Shawshank is one of my favorite movies. Tombstone is my # 1 favorite. The Green Mile was great too
Me my husband and daughter toured this prison, it's awsome
Nothing is worth even one day. I've seen the movie several times. It's always been one of my favorites. Morgan Freeman was great in this movie. Thanks Chris. I'll send you a cake.🎂
Thanks.
Great tour. I was looking into this building after watching the movie. Must have been miserable to be an inmate there. I visited a similar one in Belfast, North Ireland.
Oh yeah did 4 years 84 88
My grandfather was one of the physicians on call for the prison before it closed
That place is amazingly huge.
Thanks for the tour. Well done. Next, The Green Mile location.
Nice job doing a video. when I went to the prison I try to do a video of the place didn't work out.
The spiril stair case leads you to a cat walk where the guards would watch over the prison. I had the opportunity to walk up it,see the guard tower, see the other correctional facility, the inmates walking around 😅 tim Robins was apparently not very pleasant with coworkers during the movie set,was very difficult to work with, a Germaphobic. Morgan Freeman was cordial, pleasant to work with. I have been here b4, and it's definitely a great place to visit
Very cool thanks! One of a cupal moves I can recite every word. This one and forest Gump lol
