Chillicothe Correction Institution, or CCI, is a state run medium security prison on the west bank of the Scioto River in Chillicothe, Ohio. It is located adjacent to Ross Correctional Institution and Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. The prison is a former military camp, named for Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman. It later became a federal penitentiary and has housed several high profile prisoners including Charles Manson and bootlegger Junior Johnson.

Mr W.D.Salisbury was a Warden for the Institute in 1971

Country music legend Johnny Paycheck also served a 22 month stint in CCI. During Paycheck's time there his friend and fellow musician Merle Haggard performed for the inmates.

Death row relocation

On October 3, 2011, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections announced that Ohio's male death row would be moved to CCI from the Ohio State Penitentiary (OSP) in Youngston and Mansfield Correctional Institution in Mansfield. This is being done to free up cells at OSP and Mansfield to be used to separate violent inmates from the general population as well as reduce the costs to transport condemned inmates to the execution chamber located at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility (SOCF) in Lucasville. It is expected that all but eight of Ohio's male death row inmates will be moved to CCI by January 2012 (Six high risk inmates, most of whom were involved in the 1993 death row riot at SOCF, will remain at OSP while two inmates who have serious illnesses will remain at the Franklin Medical Center in Columbus).
