Multi County Correctional Center

What Multi County Correctional Center does

Multi County Correctional Center (MCCC) is a 220-bed regional jail located at 1514 Victory Road in Marion, Ohio, operated by the Marion-Hardin Corrections Commission under Ohio Revised Code Section 307.93. Established in 1999 through an intergovernmental agreement between Marion County and Hardin County, the facility houses sentenced and pre-trial inmates from both counties and is staffed by approximately 45 Corrections Officers, 3 Sergeants, 4 Lieutenants, 2 Captains, and 13 full-time support personnel including nurses, records staff, mental health professionals, and HR/fiscal administration. The Commission board comprises county commissioners and sheriffs from each county, and an appointed Executive Director (Steve Aiken) runs day-to-day operations.

The facility operates as a unified correctional services platform: its core offering is secure detention, augmented by rehabilitation programs — the Marion County Sheriff's Office Inmate Work Program (launched March 2023), the M.A.T. (Medically Assisted Treatment) Program delivered with Spero Health and ADAMH, and faith-based programming including Celebrate Recovery. Inmate-facing services are delivered through a third-party technology stack: SmartJailMail (Smart Communications) for digitized mail processing and video visitation scheduling, Securus Technologies for inmate telephone at $0.13 per minute, and TouchPay Direct for commissary account funding with a convenience fee. Aramark provides food service. Free 30-minute weekly video visits are scheduled online Monday through Thursday.

As a government entity, MCCC is funded primarily by Marion and Hardin County appropriations rather than by equity or commercial revenue; financial data is not publicly disclosed. Operating geographies are strictly the two-county region in Ohio. Marketing is limited to the official website and employment postings; the inmate work program adds operational leverage by deploying vetted inmates to county and township projects in exchange for sentence-reduction credits under Ohio Revised Code. The entity is not a private investment vehicle and has no PE/VC ownership structure.
