New census numbers show that New Hampshire's prison population has grown by 74 percent in the last decade.
The prison population began climbing in the 1980s. That's when the Legislature passed truth-in-sentencing laws.
And the numbers show that blacks, Hispanics and American Indians are in the state's prisons and jails disproportionate to their overall numbers in the state.

The Census also showed some interesting numbers on family dynamics.
More than ten thousand children live in homes headed by grandparents. That's an increase of nearly 34 percent
from 1990 according to new census figures.
Groups including A-A-R-P hope the information persuades lawmakers to approve more financial assistance for grandparents who find themselves being parents once again.

New Hampshire's long time defense contractor, doesn't exist in name anymore, but this week the company is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Sanders recently became a part of B-A-E Systems North America. Its Nashua division is celebrating the anniversary with several events, culminating in a Nashua Pride baseball game and fireworks display on Saturday.
Defense contractor Sanders essentially created Nashua's high-tech business sector. It hired thousands of workers over the years, and drew other companies to the area.
The Nashua operation has more than four-thousand employees. Recently we had the chance to meet and talk to Mort Goulder one of the original founders of Sanders - who these days is an angel investor with a group known as the Breakfast Club. Mort lives right here in southern New Hampshire.
