How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
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.

No. Don't send cash through the mail. If you mail funds, use a money order only where allowed and follow the facility's payee and memo instructions exactly to avoid rejected deposits.
Volunteering with the New Hampshire Department of Corrections is a straightforward process, but it does involve a few required steps. Here's how to apply, clear screening, and complete orientation so you can start serving inside DOC facilities.
New Hampshire DOC uses ConnectNetwork by GTL (now Viapath) for most inmate communication. Inmates don't have internet access, so email and other messaging go through the approved provider rather than an open web connection. Keep that in mind as you figure out how to stay in touch.
Mail is one of the easiest ways to stay connected—if you use the exact address format New Hampshire DOC expects. Follow the steps below to keep your letter from getting delayed or returned.
