Staff suspended after inmate hospitalized

NIANTIC, Conn. (AP) Six staff members at the York Correctional Institution have been placed on administrative leave after a prisoner was hospitalized with an undisclosed medical issue.

Correction Department spokeswoman Karen Martucci issued a statement Thursday say the suspensions include four department employees and two workers employed by Correctional Managed Health Care.

She says they are under suspension because of ``significant concern over their actions with regard to an offender's medical needs,'' but would not elaborate.

The Day of New London identified the inmate at 36-year-old Amy Rolon of Hartford, who is awaiting trial on prostitution and larceny charges.

She is in fair condition at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
