OH DORC Liable for Property Damage Done by Prisoners
K. Michael Deem Investment Corp., Inc. (Deem Inc.), an Ohio corporation,
allowed the state Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DORC) to
operate a pallet-restoration industry on its property. While working
there, prisoners damaged a cinder block wall, a dumpster and two EPA
monitor wells on the property. When DORC officials reneged on their
promise to repair the damages, Deem Inc. filed suit in the Court of Claims.
The court had no trouble finding DORC liable for the damages. The exact
amount was set to be determined at a later trial on damages. See: K.
