Paranormal Prison: Episode 11 Featuring Breaking Benjamin’s Jasen Rauch
In the latest episode of Season 2 of Paranormal Prison, guitarist Jasen Rauch from Breaking Benjamin steps into a world where history meets the supernatural. As he navigates the haunting atmosphere of the Ohio State Reformatory, his experiences are far from ordinary, revealing the weighty energy that permeates the infamous institution.
Exploring the Haunted Halls
Joining hosts Josh Bernstein and Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin, along with equipment techs Cyrus Entezam and Morgan Rondinella, Rauch embarks on a quest to communicate with the spirits believed to be trapped within the prison’s walls. The moment he crosses the threshold into the cell block, Rauch expresses a palpable sense of unease: “Knowing the history that these walls have seen has to be pretty crazy, so there’s definitely a little bit of a weight there… it’s heavy.”
Into the Depths of Darkness
With an open mind, Rauch bravely ventures into one of the prison’s smaller cells and the notorious shower room, which holds a particularly violent past. The atmosphere is thick with tension as the team seeks to unravel the mysteries of the spirits that linger in the air.

Episode 11 Highlights: Breaking Benjamin
In this riveting episode, the team captures undeniable paranormal activity as they attempt to communicate with the other side. The spirits seem to struggle to manifest their thoughts, providing fragmented sentences that hint at their presence. The key question arises: Is the crew’s arrival a welcome intrusion or an unwelcome disturbance?
Rauch, who has previously performed at the Inkcarceration festival, acknowledges the unique energy within the prison, noting, “Whether we’re here twice or 10 times, there’s got to be something different that we’re experiencing or that someone sees or hears or feels. So, that’s the coolest part about this building specifically.”
The crew even attempts to reach out to a specific prisoner named Glenn, at the very spot where he met his tragic end. Bernstein prompts the spirit, “Can you make this ball of light turn on?” almost immediately eliciting a fascinating display of lights in response.
