Wilton prison expansion halted by Appellate Division
The Wilton medium security prison, now housing about 1500 prisoners, was barred from accepting more inmates as the state Department of Corrections awaits a ruling from state Supreme Court Judge William Murray on whether the prison should exist. Town Attorney Theodore Grey praised the decision, noting the suit claimed lack of environmental impact study and insufficient community notice.
