How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
To request a visit at Bolduc Correctional Facility, approved visitors should call Catherine Neptin at (207) 273-5125 Monday–Thursday, 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. Two-hour visits are offered on Saturdays, Sundays, and most major holidays. Before approval, you must submit a complete visitor application—incomplete applications won't be processed, and false information can lead to denial of visiting privileges. Applications go through a criminal-records check by the State Bureau of Identification, and you'll be notified in writing if you're not approved. Bring government-issued photo ID for every visit. Minors may need a government ID or certified birth certificate and must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian or an approved adult. Be aware that visit conversations may be listened to and/or recorded, except for attorney-client privileged communications.
