CONCORD - The New Hampshire Department of Corrections announced it's "desperate" for workers to manage records, "do basic computer work" and answer telephones at its headquarters in Concord, as well as at the state prison for men.

The pay being offered by the state, to work in corrections department offices, is zero.
