Facility Details

The Northern New Hampshire Corrections Facility is the newest prison facility in New Hampshire. Construction was completed in 1999 and the facility opened in 2000. It houses general population male inmates. Their mission is to provide a safe and secure environment that will challenge individuals to develop their potential through personal growth. Promote meaningful learning opportunities that nurture responsible decision making, recognize and support development of emotional maturity and advance personal responsibility. Honor individual strengths, respect and embrace the commitment to disciplined teamwork as essential to safe and efficient prison management.

Citizens Advisory Committee

NNHCF strives as an organization to be a contributing asset to the community. Regular meetings are held with a group of citizens who sit on the Citizen Advisory Committee. This group comes from a broad spectrum of the community. They are educated on the operation of the prison and provide valuable feedback and suggestions from a community perspective. Numerous tours are given to educational and government groups.

We are actively seeking members of the community to be a part of this committee. Please contact the facility for more details if you are interested.

  Do I Need Safeguard Training?

  Why: The NHDOC uses a specific process to approve minor children for visitation in an effort to ensure safety, security and the well-being children and the facility. Residents who are incarcerated for crimes against children or have a history of crimes against children may have visitation privileges with children denied, further restricted, or may be required to have an adult accompanying the minor complete the NHDOC’s safeguard training.

  Who: ONLY for residents who have been told that they are required to have a trained chaperone for visiting room purposes. The friend/family member (who would like to bring minor children into a NHDOC Visitation Room)must fill out and send in the Safeguard Training Application availablebelow. Note, whoever completes this training must be an approved visitor and will be the only one permitted to bring in the minor visitors for visits.

  What: The Safeguard training provides an overview of the Visiting Room policy & rules, information on how to prepare a child for visitation, grooming behaviors, coercion, offending cycles, and how to report an incident. This also allows an opportunity for Q & A and a tour of the Visiting Room.

  When: Classes will be offered quarterly, on Fridays from 1:00-3:00PM.
