Nothing could sound sweeter to the ears of a prison inmate than hearing that he is going to be getting out of the slammer soon, right?
Wrong. At least in the case of some New Hampshire jailbirds, who were not too pleased at all about being turned out of their forced confinement.
It seems that they much prefer the prison life to the hard reality outside bars, where the economy stinks. It's difficult enough as it is to get a decent job when you have a record. Also, the weather is getting chilly and ex-cons are finding it hard to find affordable place to live where they can get out of the cold and enjoy an occasional hot meal.
Knowing that they were about to face these possibilities, two Rockingham County inmates sent letters to the jail's superintendent saying, "Thanks, but no thanks!" to being let out and requesting to be kept in the "Big House", at least until the weather warms up. After all, that way they could be assured of having a decent place to live, three squares a day and access to good workout equipment. Kind of like a dangerous motel paid for by tax dollars.
Their requests were, of course, denied, since they had already served their required amount of time, and the two inmates in question will be bounced at the designated time.
If you live in Rockingham County, though, I suggest that you watch your back, just in case these guys try to get back in prison by knocking you in the head with a 2-by-4.
