Re: Right to Know Request
Dear Beryl Lipton,
The New Hampshire Department of Corrections is in receipt of your request for documents under the right to know law. We have attached documents that are responsive to your request.
You asked for all policies related to the employment and payment of those in our jurisdiction. We have enclosed copies of the following policies.
3.01 - Offender/RTU/SPU Resident Pay System
3.06 - Resident Accounts at Transitional Housing Units
3.09 - Management and Control of Personal Funds of Residents
7.47 - Phases and Programming at Transitional Housing Units
7.64 - Registered Apprenticeship Program
To the extent of your second request for the most recent report regarding currently-employed incarcerated persons under the jurisdiction of this agency. This data is tracked in a broad format but includes some skill levels and facility in which the individuals are housed.
You also asked for all reports regarding post-incarceration employment for individuals formally under the jurisdiction of this agency. No such document exists. RSA 91-A:4, VII states, “Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require a public body or agency to compile, cross-reference, or assemble information into a form in which it is not already kept or reported by that body or agency.”
To the extent that these represent all available documents that are responsive to your request, we will continue to review our records and if further documents are found that are responsive to your request those will be provided.
Respectfully,
Jeffrey Lyons
Public Information Officer
