CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - State officials are investigating a security breach after a New Hampshire State Prison inmate was found with a list containing the names of all Corrections Department workers as of March 2008 and data on each, including Social Security numbers.
Department spokesman Jeff Lyons told the Concord Monitor the list was found inside the cell of a minimum-security inmate during a routine search Friday.
An email sent to prison employees says the list is believed to have come from the recently closed Laconia prison and was at a Concord prison warehouse to be shredded. Lyons said the inmate worked at the prison warehouse. It wasn't known if he had done anything with the information on about 1,000 workers, which included names, titles, positions, departments, labor grades and Social Security numbers.
