When someone you care about is incarcerated, one of the most meaningful ways to show support is by sending them a book. Books provide knowledge, comfort, spiritual strength, and a connection to the outside world. In New Hampshire, sending books to inmates is permitted — but there are strict guidelines in place that must be followed.
At Corrections Bookstore Publishing LLC, we make it easy to send approved, inmate-safe books to correctional facilities throughout New Hampshire. Whether you’re sending an inspirational title, GED prep material, or a religious text, our team ensures that your order is delivered safely and in full compliance with New Hampshire Department of Corrections (NHDOC) regulations.
This complete guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of how to send books to a loved one in a New Hampshire prison.
Why Sending Books to Inmates in New Hampshire Matters
Books are more than just reading material in prison — they are:
- A source of mental stimulation and intellectual growth
- A way to pass time positively and productively
- Tools for education and rehabilitation
- A guide to faith, reflection, and recovery
- Resources for preparing for reentry into society
- A symbol of hope and encouragement
For many inmates, books serve as their primary access to the outside world, making your support even more impactful.
