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 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.

Made me wanna rewatch the movie. So awesome to learn about the history of this place. Thanks for touring us, Chris.

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.

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

This is by far my most favorite movie of all time, the story is heartbreaking, Thank you for sharing

"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

Great video thank you I live in Ohio myself & appreciate it when people showcase what our state has to offer

Greatest movie of all time.

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.

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’s a great movie. Watched it for probably the 20th time last weekend

Now I gotta go rewatch that movie.

Loved this tour thanks Chris. One of my favourite movies

Wow this is one AWESOME video! From one of my all-time favorite movies. Thank you.

Amazing video thanks for showing us around Chris enjoyed it as always

Excellent tour of one of the best movies ever made. Thanks Chris.

Thanks for sharing! Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite movies ❤

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.

Chris Thank-you!! One of my favorite movies!! So cool to see this!!!!❤

Thank you, Chris! ❤

Thank you Chris!! Great tour. Very informative. I've seen the movie About a dozen Times. 💓

Very interesting and informative, thanks for the tour Chris !

love this!....one of fav from your channel ...great job!

What a treat! Thank you for this😊

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.

FANTASTIC..ONE OF MY FAV CHRIS,THANK YOU,,SAFE TRAVELS

My top 3 favorite movies of all time. This video was AWESOME. I have to visit before I’m done on this earth.

Thanks for the tour! 👍

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".

Fascinating tour I need to visit Im about 1 hour north of Mansfield in Ohio

Chris, you're a great documentary maker. Shawshank is one of my favourite movies. Top 10 for sure.

Amazing tour, thanks Chris!!

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?

I love the movie Shawshank. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Cool tour. Awesome to see all the cool stuff

Fantastic tour!TY

Awesome video. Thanks! Loved the Shawshank redemption movie.

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.

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..

Awesome video thanks for sharing this !

Man I love this. How they haven’t done it up and painted it.. it looks so cool. Thanks for the video!

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 love this movie. That was so cool 😎 to watch. Thanks, Chris. appreciated 😊😊

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.

Fantastic video I'm a big fan of Shawshank movie. Thank you for sharing ☮️

Excellent video, Chris! I love Shawshank Redemption and Morgan Freeman so this was a real treat! ☮️❤️

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 remember seeing parts of this place from US 30 back in the 70's and 80's and gave me the shivvers !!!

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.*

My favorite movie---thank You !!!

Awesome place and the movie was great.

excellent video. very enjoyable. thank you

Really well done~thank you❗️

Great video. Enjoyed it very much. 👍

I'm always amazed at how quickly things deteriorate if not maintained.

THE PRISON JAILS LOOKED LIKE A GIANT HUMAN ,,BIRD CAGE LOOKING UP AND DOWN.. THANKS ,, CHRIS...

I hope you get 1 million hits on this one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on UKposts

This is really interesting, thank you

Ohhh, I’ve been there numerous times, let me tell ya, some of those prisoners have never left. Serious paranormal activity there. Great vid!

It’s a beautiful building❤

AWESOME video!!

ty for tour

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. 👻

very well done........ thankyou

This is really cool! I would love to visit someday

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

Shawshank is one of my favorite movies. Tombstone is my # 1 favorite. The Green Mile was great too

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

One of my favorite films 🎬

This was a Great Story of a Movie. They dont make Movies no more like this!

I'm a lifelong resident of Mansfield and have never taken the tour, thanks for the video.

Awesome videos😊

I visited this place before and it is huge plus you can take haunted ghost tours also

Now that was very very cool!!

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

Nice job doing a video. when I went to the prison I try to do a video of the place didn't work out.

Thanks for the tour. Well done. Next, The Green Mile location.

insane building

This was very interesting. 👍

That place is amazingly huge.

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

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.

That’s very cool! 🎉

The Reformatory is definitely an interesting place. Especially if you are into history and movie history as well. Several movies were filmed there. Surprised you didn't cover some of the Russian stenciling and writing as well as the paintings on the walls of the guard room when it was turned into a Soviet/Russian prison for Airforce One. I have had many chances to be inside of the place, on tours, doing work for events there, and I even got the chance to play airsoft in that place (twice at night) 3 times. The crew there is doing an amazing job restoring and it's been a long process. But it's come a long way even in the last 10 or so years!

Never seen the movie all the way through. Something i need ro do. But love old places. I want to check out Moundsville.

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.🎂

loved it

That was a great movie!!

I've taken the guided tour. It's a very interesting place

Thanks.

Very cool thanks! One of a cupal moves I can recite every word. This one and forest Gump lol

I worked with Morgan Freeman on the movie driving Miss Daisy back in the 80s. You can’t ask for a better person, actor.

Can you plz do one on al copones old hotel on Michigan and cermack in chicago plz try thank you mobile instinct your awesome

Not catwalks. They are called tiers. The cellblock layouts of these older institutions are very similar. We have Folsom and San Quenton, still in use today.

Insane looking prison

I went to inkarceration about 5 years ago and saw it. Its very cool.
