Mansfield Correctional Overview
Mansfield Correctional Institution, often shortened to ManCI, is an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction state prison in Mansfield. It opened in 1990 and is described in the research as a mixed-security adult male prison. It is one of two active ODRC prisons physically located in Richland County, along with Richland Correctional Institution.
ManCI is not the Richland County Jail and does not use the county roster PDF. It is also distinct from the historic Ohio State Reformatory preservation site nearby. The reformatory is a major Mansfield landmark and prison-history site, but it is not the current operating prison for public custody lookup. For an active ManCI inmate, use ODRC Offender Search and confirm the institution field.

Use the ODRC page for facility context, then use ODRC Offender Search for person-specific state prison status.
Mansfield Correctional Capacity
High-authority facility references in the research list Mansfield Correctional Institution capacity at 2,523. The research also notes historical state facility population context from Prisoners of the Census 2020 vintage data, which listed Mansfield Correctional Institution at 2,477 as a June 30, 2012 state facility count. That historical count should not be treated as a current population figure, but it helps explain the scale of ManCI compared with the county jail.
| Measure | Figure | Source Context |
|---|---|---|
| Facility type | ODRC state prison | Facility map and ODRC references |
| Population held | Sentenced adult male Ohio prisoners | Research facility detail |
| Security level | Mixed security | Research facility detail |
| Capacity | 2,523 | High-authority facility references |
| Historical 2012 count | 2,477 | Prisoners of the Census vintage context |
Search Mansfield Correctional Inmates
Use ODRC Offender Search for Mansfield Correctional Institution inmates. The Richland County Jail roster only covers local county jail custody, such as recent arrests and pretrial holds. A sentenced prisoner's ManCI location, ODRC number, admission date, offense information, sentence, release eligibility, and status are state corrections records.
- Open ODRC Offender Search.
- Search by last name, first name, or ODRC number if known.
- Use county of commitment only when it helps narrow the sentence source, not as proof of current residence.
- Open the matching profile and confirm Mansfield Correctional Institution in the institution field.
- Review status, sentence fields, offense details, release eligibility, and supervision information where shown.
- Use Ohio VINELink for custody notification when the concern is status alerts rather than a full prison record.
The state search page is shown in the screenshot captured from the official ODRC Offender Search.
ODRC records should be checked before county systems when the person is serving an Ohio prison sentence or has already transferred from local jail custody.
Mansfield Correctional Contact
The research confirms the facility address as 1150 North Main Street, Mansfield, OH 44903. A current phone number was not confirmed in accessible official text during research, so no unverified number is listed. For current phone routing, use the ODRC facility directory, the Mansfield Correctional Institution facility page, and ODRC locator or visitation pages as appropriate.

For local booking, bond, or pretrial custody questions before an ODRC transfer, contact Richland County Jail. For ManCI custody, use ODRC first because prison status and institution assignment are state records.
Mansfield Correctional Visits
ManCI visitation follows ODRC visitation rules. ODRC visitation requires approved visitors and ViaPath/GTL registration and scheduling. The state policy limits approved visiting lists to up to 15 approved adult visitors, with no more than two friends. Visitors cannot directly deliver packages, correspondence, money, or printed material during visits.
Do not use Richland County Jail video visitation rules for ManCI. The county jail uses ICSolutions for county video visitation, while ODRC uses its own prison visitation process. State prison visits involve approval, scheduling, identification, security screening, and facility-specific rules. The facility schedule should be confirmed through ODRC before travel.
| Visit Topic | ManCI Rule Source | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor approval | ODRC visitation process | Approval required before visiting |
| Scheduling | ViaPath/GTL | Follow ODRC scheduling instructions |
| Adult visitor list | ODRC visitation policy | Up to 15 approved adults |
| Friend visitors | ODRC visitation policy | No more than two friends |
| Direct delivery | ODRC visitation policy | No direct delivery of mail, funds, or packages |
Mansfield Correctional Mail
ODRC mail, phone, and money rules apply to Mansfield Correctional Institution. Do not send ManCI prison mail to the Richland County Jail scanned-mail address in Phoenix, Maryland. Do not use county Access Corrections jail deposits for a sentenced prison inmate unless ODRC specifically directs that route, which the research did not show. ODRC pages control general mail and email, the mail processing center, phone services, and sending funds.
| Service | Use for ManCI |
|---|---|
| ODRC mail and mail-processing rules | |
| ODRC general mail and email page | |
| Phone | ODRC prison phone services |
| Money | ODRC send-funds page, which directs users to ConnectNetwork |
| County jail vendors | Not the default route for ManCI state prison custody |
Use the prisoner's ODRC number where ODRC requires it. A former Richland County Jail SO number, booking date, or bond entry is not the same as an ODRC prison identifier.
Mansfield Correctional Intake
ManCI intake is state prison admission or transfer, not a fresh county arrest booking. A person normally arrives after conviction, sentencing, and ODRC classification or transfer. ODRC then decides the institution assignment and manages housing, program eligibility, phone access, mail, visits, and release planning. A local court or county jail may still matter for older case records, but current prison custody is an ODRC matter.
The ODRC locator can show fields such as name, ODRC number, DOB, admission date, institution, status, offense information, effective sentence date, jail-time credit, sentence terms, committing county, docket number, judge, and release or parole eligibility. Those fields explain why a person may no longer appear on the county roster after transfer.
- Mixed security
- A prison security classification range with different custody and housing levels inside the same institution.
- Institution field
- The ODRC profile field that confirms current prison placement when the person is incarcerated.
- Committing county
- The county tied to the sentence, not proof that the person is physically held there.
About Mansfield Correctional
Mansfield Correctional Institution is part of Richland County's unusually large correctional footprint. A person searching the Richland County inmate population may be looking for a local jail inmate, a sentenced prisoner at ManCI, a sentenced prisoner at Richland Correctional Institution, or someone who moved into federal or immigration custody. The lookup system changes with that custody level.
The distinction from the Ohio State Reformatory is important. The reformatory admitted its first inmates in 1896 and is now a historic and preservation site. ManCI is the active ODRC state prison opened in 1990. The two are connected by Mansfield's correctional history, but they are not the same public-custody agency or lookup channel.
Historical high-authority reports mentioned ManCI programs such as horticulture, dog care, vocational, academic, religious, community service, and ACA accreditation in older reports. Current program access should be confirmed through ODRC because prison programs, eligibility, and availability can change by unit, custody level, and staffing.
Note: Confirm current institution, visitor approval, and official phone routing through ODRC before traveling to Mansfield Correctional Institution.
