New Hampshire Inmate Search

Searching for an inmate in New Hampshire is easy when you know how to point your search with the variety of databases available online. To start, find the official New Hampshire Department of Corrections website, where there's a competent Inmate Locator

The information on the NHDOCs site, including active sentencing records, is extracted from the Offender Records Office based in Concord, NH. You'll input the search parameters in the area labeled 'Search for an inmate by entering all or part of the last name,' or the one titled 'all or part of the first name.' 

What follows when you submit your New Hampshire offender lookup details is a list of inmate names for the information you've input in the search boxes. The inmate locator page generated contains columns that depict: 

  • Inmate names 
  • Age and inmate ID 
  • Term ID and booked date 
  • Maxed and facility 

Underneath these columns are the named inmate's case ID, date of offense, minimum and maximum release dates, and docket number. Information points to which facility the inmate is housed in and the court processing their case. 

The Maxed or minimum and maximum release dates are displayed for active sentences only and not for an offender with a pending consecutive sentence or procedural parole violations. A date that isn't available means it's not been decided or doesn't appear in the official NHDOC records. 

Another searchable official database for inmates currently incarcerated in New Hampshire is available from the New Hampshire Department of Safety. The offender lookup on their website is a sex offender registry, but it's limited to offenders who've committed crimes outside the state but now live in NH. 

On the search page, you'll enter at least one of the details asked for, including the offender's first and last name and middle initial. Input an address and the individual's city, county, state, and zip code to return the results of a Registration of Criminal Offenders listing. 

The comprehensive report contains full demographic metrics, including the offender's known aliases and their date of birth. Selecting the name generates a mug shot that's dated, last reported address, court name, and relevant physical descriptions. 

New Hampshire Inmate Roster 

When you're exploring avenues to find an inmate within the New Hampshire Department of Corrections and Department of Safety databases, your search results may fall short or appear outdated. A facility's inmate roster deals with county and city jails with a high turnover of prisoners updated regularly. 

The inmate roster is maintained by a city's police department or county sheriff's office and will include a conclusive description of the offender. These records contain an inmate's physical description, like defining marks, tattoos, hair, eye color, weight, and height. 

Besides the person's name and date of birth, there are details of offenses, trial dates, arrest warrants, incarceration, and sentencing files. 

Finding someone in a New Hampshire jail differs from searching for inmates in state-run facilities since local governments, counties, and cities keep their records. The best route is to contact the sheriff or police departments of the county or city where the offender was arrested and prosecuted. 

Locate a municipal or county jail's website and request a contact number, where you'll find their prisoner ID, charges, and release dates. You can also locate an inmate under detention due to infractions of the immigration laws using the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's online detainee locator system.
