When Hillsborough County Commissioner Toni Pappas toured the Valley Street Jail in Manchester last December, as she and fellow commissioners are required to do at least twice a year, she didn’t appear to find any cause for concern.
“I have found the condition of the facility, the security of the inmates, and the management to be in order,” Pappas wrote in an inspection report filed with the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. “The inmates are being cared for pursuant to [state law], and are appropriately supervised by trained correctional staff.”

MANCHESTER, NH – A Superior Court judge has taken under advisement a Black Nashua teen’s request to withdraw his guilty plea to a misdemeanor riot charge connected to last year’s Black Lives Matter protests because co-defendants sentenced so far, most of whom are White, received no jail time.
Antwan Stroud, 18, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor riot charge that resulted in a sentence of 30 days in jail. Had he known of the sentence outcomes of his co-defendants, he said he never would have agreed to plead guilty.
The irony is Stroud was protesting the racial inequalities in the justice system only to experience that same injustice as a racial minority himself, according to his defense attorney.
