More jail time rejected: Inmates' request to wait out tough economy Quote: PORTSMOUTH — Al Wright has seen inmates act up to avoid being released during the harsh New Hampshire winters, but it was only recently the 28-year corrections veteran got two letters from individuals politely requesting an extended stay behind bars. Wright, the superintendent of Rockingham County House of Corrections, says spending time in his jail isn't fun, but he isn't surprised that a tough economy has some inmates reluctant to be released during a time when jobs are few and temperatures are dropping. The jail superintendent said he recently received letters from two inmates requesting they be kept in jail despite them having served out their court-ordered sentences. Wright said the letters essentially asked: "Can I stay the winter?" "My take on it is the economy is dumping so far that jail isn't looking as bad," Wright said. Wright said the inmates requesting an extended stay at the Brentwood facility have been denied. "It's not a homeless shelter. I can only hold people on legal orders from the court," he said. Wright has worked in corrections for 28 years and said it isn't uncommon for some inmates to try and avoid release directly before or during winters that present challenges for those who often have little or no money, few family connections and a criminal record that makes it more difficult for them to gain employment. http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll...911/-1/FOSNEWS __________________ Forum Rules The Thanks! button Spelling and the TTR How to insert a picture Using our search feature Copying and pasting articles TTR Advertising opportunities

Preparing them better to re-enter society with programs like work release and half way houses could help with the transition. __________________ KC Forum Rules The Thanks Button Using Our Search Feature Click Here For Sponsorship Info

Yeah, but those kinds of programs are getting to be fewer and fewer, as well. Also, the criminal has to be convicted of a non-violent crime, to be eligible for them. And no matter where the half-way houses are located, there are always those who will oppose them in "their neighborhood"..(usually some commie-libs, who don't even LIVE in that neighborhood!! LOL) Judi Kay __________________ "How True, Daddy's words were when he said:All children must look after their own upbringing.Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."
