In the 68-page report on the troubled Connecticut Juvenile Training School – fast-tracked in 1999 by John Rowland, the disgraced former governor out on appeal on yet another federal felony conviction – is a recommendation that the facility, along with a nearby girl’s detention site, be closed. Sarah Healy Eagan, the State Child Advocate, told reporters Wednesday the time table should be two years to vacate the site (DCF photo), which was modeled identically after a similar facility in Marion, Ohio. Rowland confidantes and agency heads made an excursion to Marion, way back when, then pushed the copy cat plan for a maximum-security juvenile facility through the General Assembly. The deal became the center of the federal probe into Rowland’s administration that forced him to resign, then plead guilty to corruption. His chief of staff, Peter Ellef and New Britain contractor Bill Tomasso, also got jail sentences. But the state ended up with a $57 million white elephant, with cells that could not be used for kids because they lacked windows. So a quick trip into Google-land find that the Marion facility, the site of numerous attacks and attempted escapes, closed back in 2009.
