Bureau of Juvenile Services

The Bureau of Juvenile Services operates the state's correctional facilities for children; it received its current name in 2003. The Connecticut Juvenile Training School (CJTS) is the state's secure facility for delinquent boys.[2] The CJTS is located in Middletown. The $57 million juvenile correctional center opened in August 2001.[3]

The state of Connecticut previously operated the Long Lane School in Middletown, a juvenile correctional facility for boys and girls of the ages 11-16.[4] In 2002 the Government of Connecticut announced that the Long Lane School, then the state's juvenile center for girls, was closing. Girls were moved to the Connecticut Children's Place in East Windsor. The closure occurred after the Attorney General of Connecticut, Richard Blumenthal, and a state child advocate, Jeanne Milstein, investigated a suicide attempt at Long Lane and then asked DCF to review its practices regarding the safety of delinquent girls.[3]

Connecticut Children's Place

The Connecticut Children's Place (CCP), located in East Windsor, is a state residential and educational center for abused and neglected children of the ages 10-18.[5] After the closure of the Long Lane School, CCP became the housing point of delinquent girls adjudicated by the state.[3]
