More jail time rejected.

Inmates wanted to stay more time in jail, but Rockingham County said "no", why? Well they asked to stay inside until the economy got better... smart men, huh?
Al Wright (that's his name, don't laugh) has seen inmates act up to avoid being released during the harsh New Hampshire winters, but it was only recently the 28-year he got two letters from individuals politely requesting an extended stay behind bars.

"My take on it is the economy is dumping so far that jail isn't looking as bad," Wright said. "It's not a homeless shelter. I can only hold people on legal orders from the court".

Wright said the 350 inmates at Rockingham County jail get a roof over their head, three meals a day and a clean place to stay while they are prepared for reintroduction into society.
He said the above amenities in jail are basic, but are probably viewed as a better alternative to living on the streets, especially during winter.
