Cheshire: The prison facilities in town reflect effects of changes in state policy. For example, when paroles were denied to violent offenders after the murders in town, census went up; so did costs, leading to a notable budget overrun. Situation is now reversed, with empty beds in minimum security facilities. It’s a tough situa-tion to sort out, since most of the criticism comes from the guards and there is rather persistent un-ion/management disagreement.
Southington: interesting fact that there seems to be only one school in New England to offer court reporting training. This seems to be a very odd situation, considering that reporters are required in so many legal situations. The goal is around 225 words per minute, which is considerably faster than any stenographer can type in English, with the phonetic language.
State: Silver alert program being proposed in Connecticut for persons suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s. Seems a good idea, but why not put one of those electronic bracelets on a person’s leg or wrist?
