NH May Send All Its Male Prisoners to Private Facilities

A proposal in New Hampshire to send all male prisoners in the state to private prison facilities has raised some serious concern.  This would be the first time any state has turned over such a sizable portion of its incarcerated population to the industry, though some other states have proposed similar measures in the past (such as Arizona).  The state is currently weighing bids from four companies to provide the beds it is seeking, and unfortunately some local officials have already started to fall for the "economic stimulus" trap.  But many others have already realized that the industry has an agenda all its own, that doesn't exactly correspond with the best interests of New Hampshire's taxpayers or prisoners.  The state expects to spend most of the summer reviewing applications, and has targeted September as the month in which a decision is likely to come down.

  1. Most of the Windows seven laptops even now obtainable are priced bigger than their Windows 8 equivalents, an assessment of numerous online retailers reveals. Within the 10-month mark in their lifecycle windows key shop, Windows 7 laptops with Core i5 Sandy Bridge processors and 15-inch displays were being marketing windows 7 product key for approximately $400, a 34 p.c drop from their introductory price, DealNews stories. By comparison, the cost of equally configured Home windows eight programs have dropped a whopping 46 % at their 10-month mark.
