Governor Dannel P. Malloy has called the closing of Middletown’s juvenile jail after years of criticism about Connecticut’s treatment of youth in the in the state. The Department of Children and Families is attempting to slow the pipeline of institutionalized young people and open smaller more therapeutic programs.
