Growing prison population worrying

Sunday, September 20, 2009 About every second person entering New Hampshire's state prisons has already served time, a troubling fact for policymakers trying to help people lead productive post-prison lives and control ballooning corrections costs.

offenders become productive and contributing members of our state, and not commit new crimes."

and to do that they must stop harassing people with a criminal record.

Let's face it, those of us on the 'outside' often have to work 40-60 hours to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. We pay for gym memberships, cable TV and continuing education. More often than not we pay big bucks for health insurance ... or don't have any at all.

When these guys get used to getting all these perks for nothing, why they heck would they want to swap it for life on the outside when they suddenly have to WORK for all the freebies!

Yeah. Right. Hire a repeat offender to look after YOUR kids or YOUR property and wealth....then tell others what we should do.

The system lets the worst run free, because they're willing to become police informants. Meanwhile non-violent drug users and other minor criminals rot because they don't play the game.

"Stop snitching" isn't about witness intimidation. It's about a spreading cancer in this society.

The informant system is a very serious problem, even in New Hampshire, and it's now being used to persecute people who make the wrong enemies. This is happening to lots of people. I left New Hampshire because of this and I thought it wouldn't follow me elsewhere.

Turns out the Army of Losers knows no state or national boundaries.
