CONCORD, NH - Two performance audits of the Department of Corrections say some of the department's long-standing personnel policies may be keeping inmates in prison past their parole dates. The audits of the department's security and non-security staffing also highlight the disparity between services women and men inmates receive in the corrections system. A federal lawsuit has already been filed by women inmates charging they receive fewer services than men inmates. The audits were done by the Legislative Budget Assistant's Office at the request of the Joint Audit Committee. The non-security staffing audit notes, "Of particular concern was staffing for the New Hampshire State Prison for Women. Insufficient non-security staffing has been a factor in the State's inability to provide female inmates programs and services 'on parity' with those provided to male inmates. Not providing equivalent services puts the state at risk for further legal action and may negatively affect female inmate rehabilitation." Read More. |
