4:15 p.m.

The union representing Ohio prison guards and other workers says the state's plan to move its death row will place a hardship on staff, inmates and their families.

The president of the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association said Friday that such a shift affects the operations and mission of the institutions. He also criticized a lack of communication between the state and the union about the move.
