An annual event for photographers from everywhere.  Bring your own models and roam freely around all parts of the Mansfield Reformatory, the location where The Shawshank Redemption was filmed! 

Join Professional Photographers of Ohio to photograph inside and outside the historic Mansfield Reformatory. Bring your seniors or models and shoot in the prison. 

Ohio CPP rents out the entire facility that evening for their group only that evening. Their group receives access to areas not normally open during public tours. Bring your own models to photograph, or follow other photographers around to see how they photograph in the prison. Bring your own lighting of preference and wander around freely.
