I grew up on a small lake that bordered the Conn. State Prison farm, The corn fields were directly across from our house. I hung out with a friend my age that lived in a fancy house on prison property, his father had some kind of high ranking job there. I would row my boat over to hangout with my friend, there were often minimum security prisoners around with guards nearby. The prisoners would often help clean up the water fronts of overgrowing Lilly pads and trap snapping turtles and such. I heard stories of one old timer that would keep committing some miner crime just to get back there true or not who knows. The farm had one of the biggest Holsteine heards in the State at the time they also had chickens and pigs and raised Pheasants for the state fish and game, they grew there own food so were pretty self sufficient. Some time around the late 60s they decided it was cheaper to buy what they needed so they phased out the farm. Now all thats left of the farm are a few beautiful historic barns that were built by the Quakers in the 1700s. I remember being with my dad when we were stopped by the guards a few times as they searched the car looking for an escaped prisoner.
