New Hampshire
Guides and facility information for New Hampshire's three state prisons — two in Concord, one in Berlin — which are separate from the county-run houses of corrections.
The New Hampshire Department of Corrections runs the state’s three prisons: the New Hampshire State Prison for Men in Concord — the state’s oldest, where male intake happens — the New Hampshire Correctional Facility for Women in Concord, opened in 2018, and the Northern New Hampshire Correctional Facility in Berlin, 120 miles north. Custody splits by sentence: a maximum term of more than one year is served in state prison, while a term of a year or less is served in the house of corrections of the county where the crime was committed. Those county facilities are run by the ten individual counties, set their own visiting and mail rules, and their populations do not appear in the NHDOC inmate locator — so a locator search that comes up empty can mean county custody rather than release. The department also runs transitional housing units in Concord and Manchester for people in the last two years of a sentence. Use the guides below for NHDOC’s state-specific rules, or jump to a specific facility.
