What started the Ohio Penitentiary fire?


Season 1 Episode 141


Still one of the worst fires in U.S. history, a 1930 blaze at the Ohio Penitentiary in downtown Columbus killed 322 inmates. A century later, researchers and historians still debate the cause: Did prisoners start the fire as part of a planned jailbreak, or did prison officials frame them to divert attention from their own tragic missteps? www.ohiomysteries.com
