The Connecticut Department of Correction has ended an 11-year program that provided inmate workers to the Shaker Pines Fire Department after an incident involving alcohol. The Correction Department stopped the practice after learning that an inmate drank alcohol at the fire department's annual picnic on Aug. 31. "It appears that one inmate out of four present that day as part of an outside work detail was somehow able to avail himself of alcohol that had been brought to a picnic," Brian Garnett, the prison system's spokesman, said last week. Garnett identified the inmate only as someone who had been imprisoned at the low-security Willard-Cybulski at the time. Garnett said that until further notice, the Correction Department has suspended supplying outside work details to Shaker Pines. Shaker Pines had used the work details for general maintenance since 1992. Two to four inmates typically work on mostly five-day work details, with weekend work as needed. |
