As prisons close, communities look to repurpose buildings by Pat Eaton-robb, The Associated Press Posted May 17, 2021 7:15 am EDT Last Updated May 17, 2021 at 7:28 am EDT One shuttered prison in Connecticut has been repurposed for document storage. Another is used to process and train newly hired correction officers. A third that was emptied of prisoners within the last decade remains unused. With the state’s inmate population down by more than half from its peak of almost 20,000 in 2008, decisions will need to be made about what to do with three more prisons slated for closure, including the Northern Correctional Institution that once housed death row, which is scheduled to be shuttered next month.
