Send to Friend

This week, we are presenting the series, "Beyond Prison" – a story about the power of friendship and two inmates who fed each other's hopes behind bars.

Yesterday, we met James Gilbert, a teenager who was in and out of residential homes from the time he was 11.

At 19, he was arrested for selling cocaine and sentenced to up to four years in the Concord prison.

Now, James has been shipped to the state's drug and rehabilitation facility in Laconia

This is his one chance to leave prison in less than a year.

New Hampshire Public Radio's Dan Gorenstein picks up the story.
