CONCORD – Corrections Commissioner William Wrenn is looking at new ways to reduce the state-prison population while putting on temporary hold another new program that offers early release to inmates the department deems suitable. One major focus will be doing a better job keeping paroled inmates from returning to prison, Wrenn said, adding, "We're looking at all sorts of things." Wrenn also defended remarks to lawmakers regarding whether the state should incarcerate habitual offenders. On average, about 500 paroled inmates return every year for violating the terms of their release, the commissioner said. Reducing recidivism could mean substantial savings, given that there are 2,600 inmates in the entire prison system in facilities in Concord, Goffstown, Berlin and Laconia. The Laconia facility is scheduled to close due to the state's budget crunch, with an anticipated savings of $8 million to $10 million.Read more.
