Heads up: The Connecticut DOC Public Information Office phone number is listed two different ways: 860-692-7780 and 860-692-7480. If one doesn’t work, try the other and double-check the DOC’s official contact information.

  • For Northern CI questions, start with the facility main line: (860) 763-8600.
  • Use Northern CI’s mailing address (287 Bilton Road, POB 665 Somers, CT 06071) when you’re filling out forms or sending facility mail.
  • If you need the DOC Public Information Office, try 860-692-7780 first, then 860-692-7480 if needed.
  • When you’re reaching out to the DOC Public Information Office, verify the current number through the DOC’s official contact information before you share it with others or build plans around it.

If you call and get a different number - or you're told another office handles your issue - slow down and capture details while you have someone on the line. Write down the number you dialed, the name of the person you spoke with (plus any extension), and what they told you to do next. For Public Information Office questions, ask if they can transfer you. If one listing doesn't work, try the other (860-692-7780 or 860-692-7480) and verify against the DOC's official contact page.
