Why did it take so long for N.J. to close the door on scandal-ridden women’s prison? NJ.com 5 hrs ago Ted Sherman, nj.com © NJ Advance Media file photos/NJ Advance Media file photos Gov. Phil Murphy, who announced plans Monday to shut down the Edna Mahan women s prison in the wake of a scathing report of continuing violence and abuse there.
But once a scathing report into the continuing sexual violence at the century-old complex was released, the decision came quickly.
Senior administration sources, speaking on background, said closing the prison had been discussed long before the governor ultimately took action Monday. The decision to shut it down took on added urgency after the detailed look into years of abuse and sexual assaults, and criminal charges against guards, one source said in offering a behind-the-scenes perspective of what sparked the move.
