Perform a Free New Hampshire Parole Search

Execute a free New Hampshire parole search on anyone, a right conferred to citizens due to the state’s Right to Know Law and the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Parole occurs during an inmate’s sentence when they are released into the community under supervision rather than serving more time behind bars; conversely, probation is a sentence given to offenders guilty of lesser crimes. In this case, the offender is emancipated back into society under court-imposed conditions but does not serve jail time.

Both types of records are found for free or at a nominal cost through state and county public agencies tasked with supervising these offenders; this resource outlines the best ways to track down New Hampshire parolee details at no cost.

How To Perform a Free New Hampshire Parole Search (Check Anybody’s Status)

Patrons seeking to find parolees in the state can turn to the New Hampshire Department of Corrections (NHDOC) and the Adult Parole Board.^{1, 2}

As stated earlier, parole is the conditional release of an inmate from prison to serve the rest of their prison sentences in society. Generally, the Department of Corrections in many states will provide the status of an offender; whether they are currently incarcerated or under community supervision (i.e. parole).

However, when looking up offenders using the New Hampshire Inmate Lookup Tool, users can find the offender using either part or all of the last or first name.

Information displayed on parole includes the minimum date and the current date which is not necessarily a reflection to the actual supervision data. This is because the NHDOC cannot publish a parole date until it receives official documentation from the Board after which the inmate is released within 24-48 hours.⁴

Moreover, the NHDOC states that if an inmate is in this database, then he or she is still incarcerated.

Therefore, the best way to perform a New Hampshire parole lookup would be directly contacting the NHDOC Division of Field Services—this link provides phone numbers and email addresses to various officers in the division.⁵

Interested parties may also call the NHDOC at 603.271.5600 or email [email protected].

Citizens can write to or visit the NH Department of Corrections at the address below:

Patrons may also reach out to the New Hampshire Adult Parole Board, but they do not explicitly state that they release information on offenders under its supervision. However, they can prove to be a viable source of parolee information since this information is not on online databases.

Call the New Hampshire Adult Parole Board on 603.271.2569 or write to them at the address below:

Look Up Parole Violators & Absconders in New Hampshire

Violations occur when offenders do not adhere to the conditions set forth by the NH Parole Board such as not possessing or consuming illegal drugs or reporting to their supervisory officer—subsequently, they fail these conditions and become absconders.⁶

Patrons can find these individuals by contacting the New Hampshire Department of Corrections (NHDOC).

The NHDOC does not have a formal database that lists parolees who have violated their conditions or absconded. Hence, interested persons can contact the NHDOC.⁷ Patrons can call 603.271.5600, fax 888.908.6607, or email [email protected] to verify this information.

How To Find Inmates in a New Hampshire State Prison

The responsibility of housing inmates in the state falls on the New Hampshire Department of Corrections (NHDOC) which maintains several facilities in the state.⁹ The NHDOC has a database of inmates queried using a New Hampshire Inmate Lookup Tool which is free for public use.

This tool can search for records using all or part of an offender’s first and last name. Information displayed includes the inmate’s age, facility, and booking date. Contact the NHDOC to verify the information found through this database.

Members of the public are able to communicate, visit and send money to inmates in New Hampshire Prisons.¹⁰

Inmates cannot receive calls, but can call collect or prepaid; they cannot call third-party vendors. Users can set up an account with Global Tel Link. Offenders can also send and receive emails using a shared tablet in the housing unit (they may also purchase one)—to do so, they will need to establish an email account through the vendor.¹¹

Sending mail is among the easiest ways to communicate with inmates, these policies must be adhered to.¹² Facility mailing addresses can be found in the link referencing the prisons managed by the NHDOC.

Family and friends can also send packages but not directly, but rather through the third-party vendor Union Supply Direct; inmates can receive shoes, electronics, clothing and other items allowed. Packages can be ordered online, by calling 877.765.7012 or mailing the order from the address below:

New Hampshire Property Package Program
Union Supply Direct
Dept. 605, Post Office Box 309
Groveport, Ohio 43125-0309

Visiting inmates is a privilege granted to offenders and they are allowed two weekly visits—however, visits from legal representatives and clergy do not count towards this quota.

Visitors must undergo a criminal background check, but inmates can have unlimited family members on visiting lists. These administrative rules apply to visitors and inmates during visitation.¹³

Inmates can receive money only from approved visitors and cannot hold more than $1000.00 in their accounts. Money can be sent via personal check, money order or electronically transferred.

How To Determine When a Parole Hearing Is or Reach a New Hampshire Parole Officer

Knowing when a parole hearing is scheduled is important for the offender’s family and victims who may want to attend—the public may also want to do the same; interested parties may do so by contacting the New Hampshire Adult Parole Board.

The New Hampshire Adult Parole Board provides a list of scheduled hearings to take place and those that have occurred. Results can be sorted by date and alphabet. Each hearing schedule shows the inmates scheduled for a parole hearing and their date of birth.

All parole hearings take place at the New Hampshire State Prison in Concord whose address was outlined earlier. Contact the Executive Assistance for the NH Adult Parole Board through the earlier post office box for additional information.

To attend a parole hearing, interested parties must contact the Adult Parole Board beforehand by calling 603.271.2569; same day requests are not possible.

Victims or members of the public who need to contact a NH parole officer can get in touch with the Field Services Division of the New Hampshire DOC. This link provides helpful contact information for the different offices serving varying areas in the state; this includes physical addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses.

Typically, parole officers are not associated with offenders; however, the public can still contact the division and address any issues they may have in regard to an offender or when executing a parole search in New Hampshire.

How To See if Someone Is on Probation Throughout New Hampshire at No Cost

The New Hampshire DOC – Field Services Division supervises almost 4,000 individuals on probation—they would be the point of contact to check if someone is on probation in the state. Probation is often confused with parole; the former is a form of supervision applied to convicted offenders of lesser crimes and released into the community rather than serving jail time.

The prior link gives information to all the district offices that serve the state and contact information and addresses.

At the state level, patrons may also contact the U.S. Probation & Pretrial Services – New Hampshire. This link provides phone numbers for probation officers and a main line as well; use these numbers to check to see if someone is on probation. There are two locations that this office serves; one in Concord and the other in Manchester.

Interested persons who are residing in New Hampshire counties and cities will need to turn to the NHDOC Field Services Division whose link was provided earlier. They should then turn to the office that serves their area and contact them for more information.

Residents who need to run a New Hampshire parole search can do so using the search tools and guidance provided in this resource; victims can look up scheduled parole hearings and communicate with the NHDOC in regard to offenders under supervision.
