ENFIELD, CT - MAY 03: Former U.S. Navy sailor Ivan Blades, 62, and current inmate at the Veterans Unit of the Cybulski Rehabilitation Center poses for a photo on May 3, 2016 in Enfield, Connecticut. Blades is from New York City and is a father two adult children and has two grandchildren. He was convicted of stabbing and killing his wife in 1991 and is serving a 45-year prison term. The Veterans Unit houses some 110 prisoners, all U.S. military veterans convicted of crimes ranging from petty larceny to murder. Inmates at the center typically have less than two years left on their sentences. The unit is part of a Connecticut Department of Correction program to turn some prisons into reintegration centers to prepare inmates for successful re-entry into society. Criminal justice and prison reforms are taking hold with bi-partisan support nationwide in an effort to reduce prison populations and recidivism. The state's criminal justice reforms fall under Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy's "Second Chance Society" legislation. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
