THE OFFICIAL REASON FOR CLOSING OF UNIT 4 DELTA AND RUMORS TO THE CONTRARY

The Connecticut Juvenile Training School recently shutdown the Unit known as 4 Delta. Those people in the publicity department officially said "the reason for closing Unit 4 Delta is because of low resident numbers." Sources report that indeed four- five residents were on that Unit for an extended period of time. In the past other such Units at CJTS recorded low resident numbers and were kept open. However rumors from employees paint another picture of why Unit 4 Delta was closed down. The first reason has to do with lack of supervision ; it was well known how the main Supervisor for that Unit seemed to always be out on Workers Compensation. It is very hard to keep workers motivated and incarcerated residents in line when the boss is absent for long periods of time. The second reason for this Unit being closed has to do with an incident reported on this blog and in the Greater Hartford media.

A resident on Unit 4D threatened male Youth Service Officer on Thursday. Then two days later the family member of this resident tried to sneak in a 380 caliber semi -automatic pistol [ gun was in bottom of sneaker box-loaded ]. Now management tried to spin the narrative and point out the gun was detected by diligent CJTS staff. In reality the real story is how lack of supervision might be remotely responsible for not detecting how this resident felt about  the above mentioned YSO, plus this resident claimed to have been bullied by his peers. For years management covered up transgressions of incompetent transitory Unit 4D leadership, but now with issues hanging over Unit 4 D like the Sword of Damocles it was decided to close down that particular place.
 I wonder if management has some place to put the former Supervisor of Unit 4D when they return from another Workers Compensation sojourn.
