Correctional<br />
Industries<br />
C<br />
orrectional Industries<br />
employs a total of<br />
20 staff to train and assist<br />
offenders in developing<br />
meaningful job skills within<br />
industrial and agricultural<br />
settings. Correctional Industries<br />
employs approximately<br />
240 inmates at its<br />
three facilities: The NH<br />
State Prison for Men, the<br />
Northern NH Correctional<br />
Facility, and the NH State<br />
Prison for Women.<br />
At NHSP/M, work opportunities<br />
are available to<br />
inmates in woodworking,<br />
cabinetry, metal products<br />
manufacturing, printing,<br />
furniture upholstery, and<br />
general office skills. At<br />
NCF, workplace opportunities<br />
are available in the<br />
areas of woodworking,<br />
upholstery, and furniture<br />
refinishing. Work opportunities<br />
at the women’s<br />
prison are currently limited<br />
(due to a lack of available<br />
space) to sewing projects<br />
and light manufacturing.<br />
In addition to handson<br />
skills in these industry<br />
areas, inmates are also<br />
taught the importance of<br />
punctuality, work ethic,<br />
teamwork, cooperation,<br />
and problem solving.<br />
