Governor Lamont Announces Plans to Close the Willard Correctional Institution
Statement
Issues: Criminal Justice
"Because spending millions annually to operate facilities for a population that is significantly smaller than just a few years ago is not a good use of taxpayer money, Connecticut is continuing to right-size its correction system to concentrate resources more effectively," Governor Lamont said. "I applaud Commissioner Quiros, along with all of the correctional professionals at the Department of Correction, for their tireless efforts to keep the facilities secure and our communities safe."
