NH State Prison

Before you can visit at NH State Prison, the incarcerated person must add you to their approved visiting list, and you'll need to complete the facility's visitor clearance process. Visits are scheduled ahead of time through the DOC's GTL/Viapath visitation site. Planning to bring minors? You must be an approved visitor and complete Safeguard Training. Children also need a trained chaperone who has completed Safeguard Training. The visiting area is monitored and may be recorded. Staff can limit physical contact or end a visit early if there are safety concerns or rule violations. An incarcerated person's housing or custody status can also affect whether visits are allowed and what restrictions apply.

NH State Prison handles visits and vendor-run communication through the New Hampshire DOC's GTL/Viapath scheduling platform. Use the vendor portal to see available visit types and book sessions, whether video or onsite. Electronic messaging goes through the facility's contracted vendor. Inmates can receive email messages but don't have direct internet access, so you'll send messages through the vendor platform or the address the inmate gives you. Traditional mail is allowed under Administrative Rule Cor 314, with letters limited to ten pages written in blue or black ink. Phone calls and video sessions run through the contracted vendor and are typically monitored and recorded under policy. Recordings are kept only as required for administrative or legal needs. To get started, create a vendor account, add funds if required, then follow the vendor's scheduling and billing steps.

NH State Prison's Field Services unit collects court-ordered fines, fees, and restitution for people under the facility's supervision. Commissary or trust deposits are handled separately. Facilities commonly accept deposits through lobby kiosks, approved online portals, phone services, or mail, but the options at this prison may differ. Cash is not accepted directly. Instead, funds go into a trust account the inmate can use for commissary purchases, phone services, and other authorized expenses. Before sending money, have the inmate's full name and facility ID or booking number ready. Follow any vendor or mail instructions carefully. If you mail funds, use a money order only when required and fill out payee and memo fields exactly as directed so the deposit isn't returned.
