Williams, Phil Bonafide, Michael Bastraw, Joe F. and Vi Adrignola,

make this fundraiser a success. Next up will be Keene next month,

make an effort to clear some time for our last big push. Pres.

so no one's left hanging.

Guest Speaker
This writer introduced
Supt. Joe Panarello, Belknap County House of Correction, to the
club. Starting in 1972 as an attendant at the State hospital,
he has been with the State for 18 years--lastly as Dir. of Medical
and Forensic Services--he has run the jail for over 2 years.
The HoC (House of Correction) holds people in pre-trial custody,
individuals sentenced to a year or less, protective custodials
(including intoxication holds), and federal prisoners. 2400 were
booked into the facility last year which include 1301 into the
"drunk tank"--50% higher than anyone else in the State.
As budgets have been cut, there is no rehab programs available.
Last Motorcycle Week saw 229 intakes, down from the record 414
from 1998. There are 57 presently in the HoC where a maximum
of 80 may be housed. During Motorcycle Week, all but six are
shipped to other facilities and courts defer sentences for the
duration of the event. The HoC provides minimum, medium, and
maximum security sections monitored by 14 full-time guards and
11 part-time. Supt. Panarello has the authority to release for
good behavior an inmate when 2/3 of their sentence is served.
The jail raised $71,000 last year from fees for federal prisoners
at a rate of $65 per head per day. Inmates are given the opportunity
to work in the County Home and other facilities. Visitors are
allowed four times a week. The most common form of contraband
is cigarettes which are worth ten-times the price of marijuana.
