The Mock Prison Riot is held at the decommissioned West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville, a small city in Marshall County, West Virginia, and is situated on the Ohio River along State Route 2. The decommissioned West Virginia Penitentiary is a 150-year-old imposing, gothic structure that will absolutely amaze you the first time you see it and every time thereafter. The facility is located on 12 acres in the heart of a residential neighborhood and takes up an entire city block, with on-street Parking all around the facility.

Please note that Mock Prison Riot attendees are responsible for making their own hotel reservations and travel arrangements.

We are deeply appreciative to the residents of Moundsville, Marshall County, Wheeling, St. Clairsville, and the Upper Ohio Valley for welcoming our Mock Prison Riot attendees and making them feel at home while they are here.
