Step 1 - Application
Inmates must request that a prospective visitor be placed on his/her list.
All visitors must then fill out a visitor's application and send it directly to the inmate. See this page for exact Mailing Address. Make sure you include the inmate's DOC ID#.
You need to fill out this form for any of the inmate's minor children that wish to visit. For a DCFY Child Escort, fill out this form. Visitors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an approved adult family member or other legal guardian on the residents visiting list.
Inmates are allowed two visits weekly between Sunday and Saturday. All visitors must be approved by New Hampshire Department of Corrections staff. Residents will be authorized an unlimited number of family members on their visiting lists. All visitors will undergo a criminal background check prior to approval.
Visits from attorneys, clergy, or other "official" visitors are not counted against this quota.
Individuals in the Reception & Diagnostic (R&D) Unit get one visit per week after they are medically cleared and until such time as they receive a permanent housing assignment.
Step 2 - The Visit
Schedule a visit by calling 603-752-2906. The Northern NH Correctional Facility's visitation schedule can be found linked to this page. You can also review the dress code on that page.

Bring your government issued picture ID and your inmate's DOC ID#.
A 3 second or less hug is permitted at the start and end of the visit. (Kissing is not allowed at any time.)
Visual hand holding for visitors over 16 is permitted. Hands must remain at tabletop level at all times.
Only (3) people age 5 and above are allowed to visit at one time. Under 5 may sit on the lap of a visitor.
