Franklin County Correctional Facility II
Franklin County Correctional Center I, also known as Franklin County Main Jail (FCCCI), is a 650-bed facility in Columbus, Ohio. It houses medium- to maximum-security inmates and opened in 1986. The jail is managed by the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, and the director is Major Mychal Turner. It is located at 2460 Jackson Pike, Columbus, OH 43223.
In March 2009, a sheriff’s deputy was accused of having an inmate touch a sandwich with his genitals and then giving the sandwich to another inmate. The deputy, Joseph Cantwell, pled guilty to two health-code violations in September 2009.
In late 2017, reports surfaced alleging that Tasers were repeatedly used on prisoners at the facility. Sergeant Mychal Turner was the most frequent user and was accused of using Tasers on mentally ill prisoners. He was later promoted to major and given command of the facility.
