Prison Sentencing

With budget crunches in many states, some are looking at alternative ways to both punish and rehabilitate criminals instead of just locking them up and throwing away the key. Laura's guest is Edith Flynn, Professor Emeritus at the College of Criminal Justice at Northeastern University in Boston. We'll also hear from Fox Butterfield, National Correspondent on Crime and Criminal Justice for the New York Times, Representative David Welch of Kingston who is the Chair of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, and Mike Braun, Senior Assistant Attorney General for New Hampshire and member of the National Institute of Corrections Advisory Board.
