N.H inmates celebrate graduation
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Inmates in the Granite State are being recognized for making the most of their time behind bars.
Last week, the New Hampshire Department of Corrections celebrated the graduation of 36 students across three of the state’s corrections facilities.
Inmates were celebrated for anything from passing high school equivalency tests to cosmetology licenses to a Master’s degree.
New Hampshire’s DOC commissioner said that the opportunity for continuing education in prisons helps prepare people for life outside of prison and reduces rates of recidivism.
