The Connecticut Juvenile Training School (CJTS), located at 1225 Silver Street in Middletown, CT, was a juvenile prison that operated under the Connecticut Department of Children and Families from 2001 to 2018. Established in proximity to the Connecticut Valley Hospital CJTS held male inmates from age 12-17 with capacity for 240 inmates.

The state facility closed in April 2018.

Especially people who have experienced immense trauma,” reports NBC CT, “There’s no indication of how many children the federal government may send to Connecticut,” she said.
