New Hampshire Inmate Search

The Freedom of Information Act was established with the understanding that sharing inmate records with the public is a critical component of creating transparency within government agencies. Acquiring inmate records in New Hampshire is a straightforward process. All you need is enough details on the inmate to start the process. A New Hampshire inmate search reveals the inmate's name, gender, race, location, physical description, charges, sentence, and possible release date.

The New Hampshire correctional system is structured into federal, state, and county/city facilities. The federal government has one federal prison in Berlin, New Hampshire, operated by the federal bureau of prisons. There are also six state prisons and ten jails.

Here are four ways one can search for an inmate in New Hampshire

Inmate Search in State Facilities

When searching for an inmate in a state facility, the most reliable source is The New Hampshire Department of Correction. The New Hampshire DOC provides the records on its website, which has a searchable tool by name and DOC number. The results show the inmate's name, age, race, height, weight, and gender. Besides the inmate's biographical data, the locator also shows the offender's sentencing information by the title of the statute under which the inmate was convicted. The information also includes the original minimum and maximum release dates. The locator uses the inmate's full or partial first or last name. Partial names provide a list of inmates with identical names from which one has to choose the specific inmate.

It is important to note that the data provided by the locator shows the most recent data but is subject to changes. Users are advised to verify the data before making any judgements. Contact the DOC's offender records office in concord, New Hampshire, to verify the data at (603) 271-5600.

Inmate Search in County/City Jails

If an inmate is in a county or municipal jail, local law enforcement and the clerk's office will help you acquire their information. Each jail is managed by the local law enforcement body that has jurisdiction over that area, such as the county sheriff's office or municipal police department. These law enforcement agencies provide the information online and through the phone. Visit the website of the law enforcement agency responsible for the jail and search for an inmate list on their website. The list will show the inmate's biographical information and their sentencing information. If the law enforcement body does not have an online inmate list, visit or call their offices and request access to the inmate information. You will be required to provide the inmate's name and date of birth

Inmate Search in Federal Prisons

An inmate can also be incarcerated in a federal facility for breaking federal laws. As mentioned above, the Federal Bureau of Prisons operates one facility in New Hampshire. To access inmate records from the federal prison, visit the federal bureau of prisons website. The website has a search tool on its homepage that is searchable by name and BOP number. If the BOP number is unknown, you can use the name search with other details, such as the inmate's race, age, gender, and date of birth.

Inmate Search Using Vine Link

Vine is also valuable for locating inmates in federal, state and county facilities. Vine uses an integrated system with jails and prisons across the United States to receive inmate information in real-time. The information is available on their website or mobile app. The process starts with registering and providing inmate information. Vine then sends you an email with information about the inmate's incarceration status. Vine also keeps you updated on any changes to the inmate's status.
