Union officials said the state Department of Correction failed to inform them about former death row prisoners being transferred to other facilities as Connecticut prepares to close its maximum security prison.
“There was no notice,” said AFSCME Local 391 President Collin Provost, who represents 1,500 DOC employees, including correction officers, kitchen supervisors, maintenance staff, correction counselors and others. “It’s discouraging when you get a call from one of your members saying, ‘Hey a death row inmate wound up in my general population, why didn’t they tell anyone?’”
