How to Contact an Inmate at Facility

Call the facility before you head out. Schedules change, and some days visits aren't held at all. A quick phone call saves you a wasted trip.

To confirm visiting information, call FCI Gilmer at 603-342-4000.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Call 603-342-4000 before you leave to confirm the current visiting schedule.
• ✓ Ask if visiting is operating normally, since the Warden may restrict or cancel visits due to safety, security, severe weather, or other incidents.
• ✓ Re-check close to your travel time so you do not make the trip for a visit that has been limited or canceled.

If you plan to send money by mail, do not use the facility’s street address. Mail-in funds must be addressed to the processing center in Des Moines, Iowa.

Always verify the visiting schedule before you go. The facility recommends calling 603-342-4000 to confirm. If you prefer to check online, use the facility's own page to make sure you're seeing current details for this location.

Even when the schedule looks steady, confirm there are no visiting restrictions or cancellations in effect. The Warden can restrict or cancel visits for safety and security reasons, including severe weather or incidents that disrupt normal operations.

Double-check the correct address any time you send funds by mail. For FCI Gilmer, funds must go to the processing center in Des Moines, Iowa, not the facility's street address. For other questions specific to this location, check the facility's web page rather than the Bureau Central Office.
