Work-Training Program
pays off for DOC
The Department of Correction recently initiated a worktraining program at the York Correctional facility in Nianticwhich employs approximately 50 inmates providing dataentry, optic scanning, mailing, and other labor intensiveservices to all state agencies. This program is authorizedunder CGS 18-88 and allows agencies to purchase theseservices at cost without the need to go thru the normal bidprocess. The program is currently saving eight agenciesthousands of dollars in addition to delivering work servicesthat would likely not be accomplished within current budgetconstraints.
