FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions)
Do I have to dress in theme?
Themed clothing is optional. You can dress up, dress down, come as you are – what matters to us is that you are here supporting the Reformatory and our continued restoration and preservation efforts!
Is dinner included?
There will be appetizers and small plates throughout the evening. Cash bar available.
How does the “Gaming Salon” work?
This is a fake-money casino event. Your ticket to the event will get you the chips you need to play. Blackjack, poker, craps, and roulette will be available. As you win, you can “cash in” for raffle tickets to enter the drawing for prizes.
What are we supporting if we attend?
The Ohio State Reformatory is in the process of a 3-phase replacement of the roof. Phase 1 completed in July 2026 and covered the whole East Cell Block. Phase 2 is scheduled to take place in Summer 2027 and will cover the whole West Cell Block.
