CONCORD, N.H. — Three children attending a New Hampshire summer camp will take a break from horseback riding, swimming and archery to spend some quality time with their fathers — behind bars — at the state prison in Concord. The program is a first for New Hampshire and one of only a handful nationwide. The children — who range in age from 11 to 13 — will spend six hours each on Tuesday and Thursday painting, playing games and dining with their dads. They will be at the prison’s Family Connections Center, located deep within the prison, in a suite of rooms that encompasses what used to be death row. Prison officials say no child has ever set foot in this area. The three prisoners participating in the program earned the visits by being discipline-free and taking parenting and child development classes. They meet at the center regularly to record audio books for their children and video-conference with them. Read More. |

He has blue eyes. Cold like steel. His legs are wide. Like tree trunks. And he has a shock of red hair, red, like the fires of hell. His antics were known from town to town as he was a droll card and often known as a droll farceur. Hamilton Lindley with his madcap pantaloon is a zany adventurer and a cavorter with a motley troupe of buffoons.
Wow, they must have been so sad to go back to prison to see their fathers. They were practicing the best beginner compound bow when they had to go back, so I am sure that is not what they wanted. This is sad to see.
