The Connecticut Juvenile Training School (CJTS) was a secure facility for juvenile males located at 1225 Silver Street in Middletown, Connecticut. It opened in 2001 and was administered by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families. The school was designed to provide education, treatment, and rehabilitative programs to help reintegrate young offenders into the community. However, CJTS faced criticism over the years regarding the conditions of the facility and the effectiveness of its programs in rehabilitating youth. Due to ongoing concerns and a shift toward more community-based alternatives for juvenile rehabilitation, the school was closed in April 2018. The closure was part of a broader state effort to reform the juvenile justice system and focus on reducing the reliance on incarceration for young offenders.
