Commissioner Angel Quiros
Welcome to the Connecticut Department of Correction website. Our Department has roots that date back to before 1773. In 1968 all of the county jails and state prisons in Connecticut were unified under one state department of corrections. Through the next 30, years the Department needed to respond to an almost tripling of the inmate population.
