Whether you're planning a visit or staying in touch by phone, confirm the latest rules directly with the facility first. Schedules and access can shift, and a quick call can save you a wasted trip.
Call the facility before you head out to confirm the visiting schedule. It's the fastest way to catch last-minute changes that could affect normal operations. The number is 603-342-4000.
Privacy reminder: A notice is posted next to each telephone advising inmates that calls are monitored. Unmonitored calls to attorneys are permitted in certain circumstances.

- ✓ Call 603-342-4000 before you leave to confirm the current visiting schedule.
- ✓ Assume phone calls may be monitored, and ask what the process is for attorney calls that may qualify for unmonitored, privileged communication.
Details can change from week to week, so call 603-342-4000 before you go. Confirm the visiting schedule, and ask about any visitor requirements for that day. Specific hours, fees, and vendor arrangements aren't listed here. The facility itself is your best source for current rules.
If privacy is a concern, ask the facility which calls are monitored and which aren't, especially for attorney communications. Unmonitored calls to attorneys are permitted in certain circumstances. It's worth confirming what steps are needed to set up or request a privileged call.
