SB 1328 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROHIBITING THE PRIVATE OWNERSHIP, OPERATION OR MANAGEMENT OF STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES.

SB 1328 prohibits private companies from owning, operating, or managing state-run prisons. It directly affects private prison corporations and state correctional agencies by requiring all correctional facilities to be operated solely by state employees. The bill's key mechanism mandates that any existing private contracts for prison management must be terminated, with the state taking full operational control. This law, now enacted as Public Act 25-32 after being signed by the governor on June 9, 2025, represents a concrete shift toward publicly managed correctional systems.
