LONDON, Ohio — The former warden for a Chillicothe prison, who now oversees the London Correctional Institution (LoCi) facility in Madison County is under investigation.
Norm Robinson has served as the warden of LoCi since 2017. Previously, he oversaw CCI for nearly three years, leaving Ross County in 2014.
Now, the Department of Correction career-maker has been “placed on special assignment” after allegations of sexual misconduct have surfaced.
“Mr. Robinson has been placed on a special assignment within the Office of Prisons,” said prison spokeswoman JoEllen Smith.
The specifics of the investigation were not released by the state and Governor Mike DeWine’s office did not return a request for comment. When pressed on what “special assignment” means, the spokeswoman did not elaborate.
“This is an administrative investigation being conducted by the DRC Chief Inspector’s Office. Because this is an active investigation, no other details are being provided at this time,” Smith said.
