Hampden County Jail

Plan ahead before visiting Hampden County PRC. Visitors age 18 and over must complete required registration paperwork (including an initial Visiting Form and a Request to Visit Form) and get approved before entering the secure perimeter. In-person visits are non-contact, so no physical contact is allowed. Parking rules matter too. Lock your vehicle while on state property, and know that it may be searched. Leaving unattended children or pets in a vehicle can end your visit. Bringing a minor (17 and under)? They must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or authorized adult, and you may need an original birth certificate plus parental consent documentation. Check the current visiting schedule and booking procedures before you go, since visit formats and requirements can vary.

Hampden County PRC accepts inmate deposits at the Public Lobby kiosk and through Access Secure Deposits (by phone or at inmatedeposits.com). Deposit options can vary, so confirm what the facility accepts before trying another method. When making a deposit, follow the payment provider's instructions and have the inmate's name and any required commitment or register number ready. Keep security rules in mind: personal belongings aren't allowed past the Public Lobby. Store items in the coin-operated lockers or lock them in your vehicle. Never try to pass money or other items directly to an inmate. Attempting to introduce contraband or deliver unauthorized articles can lead to arrest and criminal prosecution under Massachusetts law.
