Enfield Correction Institution will close on Oct. 1 if the plan Department of Correction Commissioner Leo Arnone submitted Friday is approved by the Office of Policy and Management.
The prison will follow Bergin Correctional Institution which is set to close on July 15.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy required the commissioners of all state agencies to submit a savings plan by Friday to help the administration come up with $1.6 billion to close the budget gap left by the failed concession package. The plans, submitted to Malloy’s Budget Director Benjamin Barnes today, will contain a total of somewhere around 6,500 layoffs and reductions in state programs and services.

I dont know where he is going to put the inmates unless the numbers for early release are far more than their telling us. Certianly decriminalizing marijuana wont decrease that many incarcerated and we know the percentage that will come back by default and when the snow flies. I still think all part of scare tactics to get us to vote yes on the new plan. If the new plan deletes the value healthcareplan and raises co-pays and dedutables I will gladly pay more to keep what we have. I will vote yes all day long!!!!!!
