Warren Correctional is a State - medium state correctional facility in Lebanon, OH, operated by the Ohio Department of Corrections. Inmates serve sentences ranging from one year to life and have access to programs including education, vocational training, and work assignments. This page covers how to locate an inmate, schedule visits, make calls, send money, and stay connected throughout their sentence at Warren Correctional.
While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
Unique Programs
4 Paws for Abilities - WCI has partnered with 4 PAWS for Abilities to provide socialization and basic training in obedience, manners, and house training to service dogs. The dogs are trained specifically for individuals with physical, mental, and emotional needs. The program provides offenders the opportunity to learn about dog training and care from a certified trainer. In addition, it encourages them to gain a better sense of responsibility and improve social skills. The institution maintains up to 15 dogs at any given time.
Bright Future - The Bright Future Residential Treatment Program is a four month residential treatment program that addresses inmate’s drug and alcohol problems. This is a CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) program which is Reentry and Earned Credit approved. The purpose of the program is: To provide effective evidence based cognitive behavioral interventions to treat drug abuse and addiction and to prevent relapse for Ohio’s incarcerated felons, including those with co-morbid conditions and/or SAMI; To reduce tax payer expense and burden to state revenue by providing effective substance abuse treatment that promotes positive change in the offender’s lives. Recovery services programs have demonstrated success at reducing recidivism (source: 2011 CIIC Report). National research regarding recovery service programs shows that such programs result in significant cost savings of approximately $7 or more dollars return for each dollar spent in programming through reductions in recidivism among program completers. South Dakota, for example, showed cost-benefits of prison recovery at $8.43 saved for every $1.00 spent in programs.
Intensive Treatment Program (ITP) - The ITP is a residential unit designed to be an intermediate step between RTU level of care and general population for offenders with severe mental illness. ITP offenders do not need RTU level of care, but are determined to be more vulnerable to decompensation or are unable to function in general population without more intensive support. The ITP offers individualized mental health treatment including activity therapy and medication management.
Reading Room - The reading rooms encourage family literacy by providing a pleasant and comfortable setting for both child and incarcerated parent. Each room is stocked with a wide variety of children’s books and has an inmate narrator who reads to the visiting children twice a day. The role of the inmate narrator is to read picture books to the children in much the same manner that children’s hour would be done at a public library. A variety of arts and craft supplies for the children are also available in most of the rooms. Many of the supplies and books are donated by employees and service organizations.
