Jail records, court & arrest records, mugshots and even judicial reports
The New Hampshire Department of Correction's mission is to provide a safe and humane correctional system by effectively supervising and treating incarcerated individuals. Additionally, the Department aims at providing a continuum of services that promote the successful transition of inmates into the community. To achieve its mission, the Department has various divisions and units which it mandates to perform respective roles.
The Division of Administration oversees the Department's business operations, including the management of finances. It costs an average of $44,400 annually to keep an inmate in prison and $576 per year to supervise individuals on probation/parole. The Division of Administration also oversees the Bureau of Services, budgeting, warehouse operations, offender services, and banking operations.
New Hampshire DOC runs and manages the correctional facilities in the state. These include the State Prison for Men, State Prison for Women, Northern NH Correctional Facility, and the Lakes Region Facility. These centers provide rehabilitation and educational programs and employment opportunities to incarcerated individuals. More so, the Department runs three transitional housing units that offer correctional programs to individuals before they are released back into the community.
The Division of Medical and Forensic Services addresses the inmates' behavioral, dental, and medical needs and fosters positive communication about health care to every inmate. This Division utilizes the professional services of government employees and private medical staff under contract with the DOC. It partners with community health centers to provide inmates with health care services unavailable in the facilities.
The Division employs professional health care experts as outlined below:
The Division's staff address the inmate's medical issues, including chronic illnesses, end-of-life care, preventive health care, and emergency services. The correctional nurses address acute diseases and emergencies, perform health screening, provide assessment and education, and provide clinical services to inmates in the correctional facilities. The Pharmacy services distribute over 200,000 prescriptions every year to provide medical services to inmates.
The Division of Field Services supervises offenders who are serving their sentences outside the correctional centers. These include those in probation, parole, home confinement, etc. The Field Services Division handles an approximate of:
Field services also carry pre-sentencing investigations, which the court of law may request. These investigations evaluate the offender's criminal charges, review the circumstances of the crime, including interviewing the victims and send a recommendation to the sentencing judge. Besides supervising New Hampshire offenders, the Field Services division supervises offenders from other jurisdictions and states. The Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision enables inmates to transfer to other states and serve their probation or parole. The Field Services supervises the ICAOS offenders using the Interstate Compact agreement.
The Division of Community Corrections (DCC) provides inmates with programs and manages the transitional housing units. In New Hampshire, there is only one Transitional Work Center; the Corrections Transitional Work Center, Concord, and three Transitional Housing Units:
Once inmates arrive at any NH DOC, the medical staff and DCC staff screen the inmates for physical and behavioral health issues and assess their risk of re-offending. The results determine which programs and health care best suits an individual's needs. However, DCC administers most programs in the last 24 months before the minimum parole date. The Division also administers various services to probationers and parolees. DCC places a case manager in most parole District Offices and counselors who work with Probation and Parole Officers to provide programs to offenders with a high risk of re-offending.
The Division offers the following services and programs:
DCC offers the following intervention services:
The Corrections Special School District started its operations in 1999 and has been providing guidance, intake, and educational services to NH DOC inmates. CSSD is broken down into two operational areas:
The Family Connection Center focuses on promoting a healthy relationship between inmates and their family members. In this regard, FCC does the following:
DCC recognizes the inmates' beliefs, traditions, and religion and therefore allows inmates to practice their religion. DCC provides regular worship sessions, pastoral counseling, and group or individual religious study. Additionally, DCC accommodates dietary restrictions depending on one's religious beliefs.
DCC approves and makes group meetings and worship services available for the following faiths: Protestant, Roman Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, Jehovah's Witness, Native American Sacred Circle, Neo-Pagan, and Buddhist.
The New Hampshire DOC strives to provide support and assistance to victims of crime and improve the safety of the public members. In this regard, New Hampshire DOC offers the following services to crime victims and survivors:
Inmates can receive visitors twice a week on Saturdays and Sundays. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Department established new visitation rules. To view the current visitation information, visit the NH DOC Covid-19 microsite. Official visitors such as clergy or attorneys can see inmates on any day of the week. Visitors must fill out the visitor's application form and request the inmate to add them to their list of visitors. Further, children must also fill the children's attachment form and be in the company of an adult family member or legal guardian while visiting an inmate.
Incarcerated individuals can also receive letters of up to ten pages, written in blue or black. More so, loved ones can send up to two packages to inmates during the holiday season. However, the packages must be sent from an NHDOC authorized vendor.
Inmates can also make calls using the Global Tel Link (GTL) service provider. One can set up a prepaid or PIN Debit account by visiting the GTL website. GTL also provides inmate banking services that allow family members and friends to deposit funds into an inmate's account. However, one must be on the inmate's approved visitors list to deposit money into their account. One can make deposits on the prison kiosks or send a personal check or money order via mail.
