How much incompetence can one county jail exhibit, and continue to operate? A jail break Tuesday (September 8th) from the Morrow County Correctional Facility in Mt. Gilead should be the last straw. 

Despite warnings this would happen, the Morrow County Correctional Facility (MCCF) became 100% COVID-positive this year. Since the jail doubles as a federal detention center for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), MCCF became the first 100% COVID-positive ICE facility in the nation.

Now, with two jailbreaks and a suicide in the past few weeks, one has to wonder: When will the Morrow County Commissioners, Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, or anyone else with authority step in and say enough is enough, this jail needs to close?

City of Columbus, City Hall, 90 W. Broad St.
Columbus and Franklin County are in a housing crisis. Our elected leaders continue to kick the eviction problem down the road instead of providing rent relief and providing housing for all people. Join us in calling for an end to the police violence inherent in housing set outs, and an end to the commodification of housing that prioritizes profits over the lives of people, especially our Black, brown, and immigrant neighbors.
