NEW HAMPSHIRE - New Hampshire's top prison official wants to help the state save money by helping some inmates who further their education win early release. State law allows Corrections Commissioner William Wrenn to recommend that an inmate be granted a sentence suspension even if they have not been in prison long enough to qualify. Wrenn says he's not looking to install a revolving door but wants inmates who finish their high school education and meet other criteria to get a chance to take their case to a judge. Those convicted of violent crimes would face stiffer requirements. Repeat offenders, sexual predators, and those convicted of capital or first-degree murder or escape would not be eligible. Corrections Department data shows about four out of 5 state prisoners are high school dropouts. Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
