Corrections Commissioner William Wrenn talks with NHPR's Laura Knoy during The Exchange. (Brady Carlson, NHPR)

New Hampshire Corrections Commissioner William Wren joins us. The State’s prison system is more focused than ever on rehabilitation...preparing inmates for life after prison...with a heightened attempt to make sure they don’t return. We’ll find out what’s going on – and, talk about the increased attention to female inmates, as that population grows.

From time to time on Word of Mouth, we turn our attention to the environment. We talk with folks about the newest ways people are trying to keep the sky blue, the earth healthy, and the climate livable. We call this regular segment "The Next Green Thing".

Today, we kick things off with a conversation about plug-in hybrid cars. WoM host Virginia Prescott talks with environmental writer Jim Motavalli. Jim is an editor for E: The Environmental Magazine and author of several books, including, Forward Drive: The Race to Build "Clean" Cars for the Future. His latest book is Naked in the Woods: Joseph Knowles and the Legacy of Frontier Fakery
