A major cleanup is underway today at the Pickaway Correctional Center South of Columbus. Earlier this week, a 19 year-old inmate died of a blood infection and 35 other inmates came down sick. Two of them have been hospitalized. Andrea Dean of the Ohio Corrections Department talked with Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen about the massive effort to find the cause of the problem and eradicate it. The Pickaway Correctional Center houses about 2,100 inmates. |
