You asked if the Connecticut Juvenile Training School (CJTS), the state's only secure facility for delinquent boys, has been closed; if not, whether there are plans to do so in the future.

The governor announced on August 1, 2006 that she intended to order that CJTS be closed by 2008. Earlier that year, the department temporarily froze new admissions after reports from the child advocate and attorney general, among others, raised concerns about the living and working conditions there.

As of October 4, 2006, 107 boys were detained in the 220-bed facility.
