Dayton Correctional Institution

Dayton Correctional Institution is a mixed custody prison that houses approximately 900 minimum, medium, close custody, and maximum security inmates.  This facility places a strong emphasis on preparing inmates for release through re-entry programs.  Re-entry programs teach inmates the skills they will need for job interviews, resume writing, and re-establishing themselves in society.  Academic courses teach adult basic education and provide the inmate courses and testing to earn a GED.
