Niantic prison would get nursery for inmates' infants under proposal - Connecticut

Chris Engel 5/20/136:05 PM

"A proposal to create a nursery for infants of women inmates at York Correctional Institution has gotten cautious endorsement from two legislative committees, but lawmakers want to know why the price tag is as much as $14 million over two years....

"It is based on the benefits to the child and the woman having the early bonding relationship … which translate to a better life overall," Wright said....

"If a nursery were created, eligibility requirements would include the mother being pregnant on arrival in DOC custody; be serving a sentence for a nonviolent offense; be serving a sentence of 18 months or less; and have no record of convictions for risk of injury to minors, arson, sex offense, domestic violence or child abuse...."
