MANCHESTER – With New Hampshire's only state-run juvenile detention center less than half full, a lawmaker warned Thursday that officials have to find a way to fill the empty beds.
State Rep. Pat Dowling, R-Derry, spoke at the John H. Sununu Youth Center, where an ad-hoc committee held a public hearing on its recommendation that the state Women's Prison not be moved to the center.

Dowling said officials considered the center for a women's prison because its census is so low.

"What do we do with all this empty space?" Dowling said. "If we don't want the women's prison here, we must fill these pods."

Here's an idea... How about filling them with politicians, bureaucrats, judges and police. Charge them all rent proportional to their current salary (including pension), close & lock the door, then just walk away!



And while they're at it they could have even more space by leaving the kids alone (let them OUT!) after they take them off of all the Ritalin, Prozac, etc they've got them drugged up on!
