Ohio's Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, one of the largest state prison systems in the nation, is trying out body cameras on its staff as a pilot project. One of the facilities that will be used in the project will be the Chillicothe Correctional Institute. The cameras will be used not only at Chillicothe, but at the Ohio State Penitentiary. Rehabilitation and Correction Director Annette Chambers Smith said adding body cameras to prison staff will improve accountability among employees and inmates. Body cameras would supplement the 6,500 fixed cameras deployed throughout the system. The systems will be tried for 45 days and then state officials will decide what would work best. The program may cost roughly $17 million for the first year, but an exact cost won't be determined until a vendor is selected. The plan is to use general revenue funds.
