Visiting Hours at Nashua Street Jail: When to Arrive and What to Expect
Visiting someone at Nashua Street Jail takes a bit of planning. The facility runs on set visiting blocks with strict limits on how often — and how many people — can visit each week. Here's the schedule, the rules, and how early you should arrive to make sure you don't lose your spot.
Nashua Street Jail offers visiting hours seven days a week, split into four blocks: 8:00am–10:30am, 1:00pm–2:45pm, 3:30pm–5:00pm, and 7:00pm–8:45pm. Pick the block that works for your schedule and get there early. Arriving during the window doesn't guarantee you'll be processed in time - lines can move slowly, and late arrivals may miss out.
Heads up: Only one visitor is allowed per visit, so you’ll need to decide in advance who is going in for that day’s visit.
Each inmate can receive up to three visits per week, with the week running Monday through Sunday. There's also a one-visit-per-day limit - you can't come back for a later block the same day. Coordinating with other family members? Keep both limits in mind so you don't burn through the week's visits too quickly or show up on a day someone already visited.
Visit length depends on the type. Contact visits last up to one hour. Non-contact visits are shorter - thirty minutes. You might see the jail describe visits as lasting "up to one hour," but the actual breakdown is one hour for contact, half an hour for non-contact.
- ✓ Contact visits: 60 minutes
- ✓ Non-contact visits: 30 minutes
Arrive 30 to 60 minutes before your visiting block starts. Check-in and screening take time, and you don't want to lose your visit because the line moved slowly. First-time visitor? I'd aim closer to an hour early so you're not cutting it close.
Important: You must listen to and follow all orders from Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department personnel. If you don’t, your visit will be terminated.
The easiest way to keep your visit on track: follow staff directions immediately. If personnel tell you where to stand, when to move, or how to handle something during the visit, just do it. Arguing or refusing can end your visit on the spot. If something's unclear, ask briefly and respectfully - then follow the instruction so you can keep your time with your loved one.
