Yes, It is quite real.

The prison they used for the film is located in Mansfield, Ohio.

It is known as the Ohio State reformatory, or the old Ohio state prison. It was scheduled for demolition in 1990, but was fought for restoration by the Ohio historical society.

The building itself still stands today, and tours are conducted seasonally.
