83 submissionsIncarceration is meant to rehabilitate and there should be no barriers for educations for those in ates who wish to better themselves.
Ive heard of rehabilitation, but this is ridiculous.
I am support to this bill because for the sake of NH voters.
I support educational opportunities for inmates.
Just like the US flag, the state flag, and the POW/MIA flag, the rainbow flag is a sign of unity and welcoming.
We train and hire educators please allow them to do their jobs This is ridiculous overkill oversight that is unnecessary - a blanket bill that furthers nothing in a child’s education
