The Lake Erie Correctional Institution is a minimum- and medium-security prison for men located in Conneaut, Ashtabula County, Ohio, owned and operated by Corrections Corporation of America under contract with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.^[1]

The facility first opened in 2000, has been owned by CCA since 2012, and has a working population of 1750 state inmates. ^[2]

Lake Erie was the first sale of a state prison in the United States to a private company.^[3]

In 2012, Ohio state auditors deducted $500,000 from its contract at Lake Erie for violations such as understaffing, which had given rise to a high rate of violence and smuggled drugs.^[4]
