James Mammone III is on Death Row, but not where one might first expect.
Ohio generally keeps inmates sentenced to death at the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown or the Mansfield Correctional Institution.
Mammone, 36, of Canton, is being held at Oakwood Correctional Facility in Lima. He arrived there Monday, said JoEllen Smith, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
Oakwood specializes in mental-health treatment and houses inmates until they are well enough to be in other prisons, said warden’s assistant Dean McCombs. Death Row inmates are segregated from the other prisoners.
Death Row inmates who leave Oakwood generally go to the mental-health unit at Mansfield, McCombs said.
Mammone is one of two Death Row inmates at Oakwood. The state has about 165 inmates sentenced to death.
The Ohio Administrative Code sets the rules for Death Row inmates, including five hours of recreation a week, the opportunity to shower and shave five times a week, one non-contact visit per visitor per month, and access to legal materials.
Oakwood’s inmates also get regular visits from the treatment staff, McCombs said.
A Stark County judge sentenced Mammone on Friday to death for the June 8 killings of his children and former mother-in-law. Mammone admitted to police, and in court, to stabbing 5-year-old Macy Mammone and her 3-year-old brother, James IV, before going to their grandparent’s Canton house, where he shot and beat 57-year-old Margaret Eakin.
During the trial, a psychologist testified that although not legally insane, Mammone suffers from severe mental illness in the form of a personality disorder.
