The former director of the Ohio state prison system has emerged as a leading contender to run the crisis-plagued federal Bureau of Prisons.
FILE - Gary Mohr, director of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, discusses proposed legislation to help reduce the state's prison population by putting more emphasis on keeping nonviolent offenders in the community instead of behind bars, on Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2017, in Columbus, Ohio.
A final decision has not been made and it’s unclear when an official announcement would be put forward, according to the people, who were not authorized to speak publicly and did so on condition of anonymity. A message seeking comment from Mohr was left with a criminal justice consulting firm where he’s worked since last October as a senior fellow.
Mohr has also been a prison warden and, between stints in the Ohio system, was a consultant and managing director for CoreCivic, formerly know as Corrections Corporation of America, an owner and operator of private prisons and detention facilities.As head of Ohio’s prison system, Mohr oversaw more than 12,000 employees and close to 50,000 inmates at 28 facilities. The Bureau of Prisons is budgeted for around 37,500 employees, operates 122 facilities and has about 157,000 inmates.
