We support new approaches and potential legislation, including swifter, implementation of the PROTECT Act, which passed and was signed into law in 2022, ending routine strip searches and a transformative approach to prison reform. Specifically, we're calling for a particular focus on improving transparency, and accountability while addressing staffing needs as well.
We must ensure the necessary investments are made to fortify our correctional system and safeguard the rights and safety of those entrusted to its care - and that includes everyone at the CT DOC - those in custody as well as those employed to protect and serve their vital human needs.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or concerns at Robyn.Porter@cga.ct.gov or 860-240-1371.
In Dedicated and Loyal Service,
Robyn A. Porter |
