Operation Redemption 2 is a MILSIM airsoft event hosted by team Stormblade which
takes place on March 20th, 2010 from 6PM until 2AM in the historic Mansfield Reformatory. Located in
Mansfield Ohio, about an hour north of Columbus Ohio.
The Mansfield Reformatory offers a truly unique airsoft experience, featuring eleven tiers of cell blocks, two levels of solitary confinement cells, an infirmary, a chapel and many other unique rooms and areas spread out over 5 seperate structures connected by stairs,tunnels and catwalks. MANSFIELD REFORMATORY HISTORY
More than 4,000 soldiers were trained for action in the Civil War at a camp which stood
on the present site of the Mansfield Reformatory.
Opened in August 1861, the training center was known as Camp Mordecai Bartley. It was named in honor of the Mansfield man who served as governor of Ohio in the 1840's. Built in 1886, the Ohio State Reformatory was designed to humanely rehabilitate first-time offenders, and was initially applauded as a positive step toward prison reform. However, conditions rapidly deteriorated. After 94 years of operation, the prison’s legacy became one of abuse, torture, and murder. Denounced by civil rights activists for its "brutalizing and inhumane conditions,” the prison eventually shut down in 1990. The Mansfield Reformatory is over 250k sq ft and is the 6th largest castle structure in the United States. Now, within the decaying walls of this abandoned prison, some say the restless spirits of its prisoners and workers still remain confined. |
