Gov. Lamont vetoes bill limiting solitary confinement in CT prisons
Gov. Ned Lamont announced Wednesday that he vetoed a bill severely limiting solitary confinement in Connecticut prisons.
Instead, Lamont opted for an executive order guaranteeing at least four hours a day out of the cell in most cases.
"This legislation places unreasonable and dangerous limits on the use of restraints," says Lamont.
