Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
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.
