Franklin County Correctional Facility II explained

Franklin County Correctional Center I (also known as Franklin County Main Jail or FCCCI)[1] [2] [3] is a 650-bed medium-maximum security correctional facility located in Columbus, Ohio.[3] It is located at 2460 Jackson Pike, Columbus, OH 43223. It opened in 1986.[4]

Misconduct

The jail came under fire in March 2009 when allegations came forward that a sheriff's deputy enlisted an inmate to touch a sandwich with his genitalia, then fed the sandwich to a fellow inmate. The inmate consuming the sandwich was then shown a cell phone picture of the first inmate's genitalia touching the sandwich.[5] The deputy, Joseph Cantwell, pleaded guilty to two health code violations on September 9, 2009.[6]

In late 2017, news reports indicate jailers at the facility had repeatedly used Tasers to torture prisoners. Sergeant Mychal Turner used the device most often, including illegally on mentally-ill prisoners. He was promoted to the rank of major and command of the site.[7]
