Join Stop Solitary CT and allies on July 14 at the Connecticut State Capitol to demand that legislators override Governor Lamont’s veto of the PROTECT Act (S.B. 1059). After the bipartisan passage of this comprehensive legislation to restrict solitary, end abusive shackling practices, and implement oversight of the Department of Correction, Governor Lamont issued a surprise veto. His veto disrespects the humanity of incarcerated people and defies the democratic will of the people and their representatives. His actions are unacceptable and legislators must seek an override. Read Stop Solitary CT’s statement on Governor Lamont’s veto and corresponding Executive Order.
