The study surveyed recent high school graduates, college professors and employers.
It found that 40-percent of high school graduates feel unprepared, and a majority would take tougher courses if they could do high school over again.

DOC Remains Silent on Women's Prison

By Dan Gorenstein on Monday, February 7, 2005.

Last December a report on the women's prison in Goffstown highlighted the need for sweeping changes.

Authors concluded female offenders lacked the access to academic and professional training, as well as the counseling to succeed after their release.

At the time, the Department of Corrections declined to offer an official reaction to the report, but promised a formal assessment in the next 4-8 weeks.

But as New Hampshire Public Radio's Dan Gorenstein reports, seven weeks later there is still no word from the DOC.
