Report: Job changes result from prison escape

LIMA, Ohio (AP) — The state has reassigned the warden at a prison where a convicted school shooter of three students escaped and has demoted the deputy warden.

The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction says the changes resulted from the September escape by T.J. Lane and two other inmates, all of whom were recaptured within a few hours.

The Lima News reported today that Kevin Jones, warden at Allen-Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima, was reassigned to the prison agency’s operations support center in Columbus.

Prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith told the paper that deputy warden Ray Schaublin was demoted to inspector.

The state says 20-year-old Lane and two other inmates climbed the fence during recreation, got on a roof over an entryway and escaped on Sept. 11.
