INTRO
If your loved one is approaching release from a New Hampshire state prison, the state operates four transitional housing facilities directly - no contracted halfway house operators, no private middlemen. The New Hampshire Department of Corrections runs the Shea Farm Transitional Housing Unit in Concord (women), the Calumet House Transitional Housing Unit in Manchester (men), the North End Transitional Housing Unit in Concord, and the Corrections Transitional Work Center in Concord - all within the last two years of an inmate's sentence.
These facilities are not traditional halfway houses in the sense of standalone community programs. They are NHDOC-operated step-down facilities where residents live under minimum security supervision while working in the community, building employment histories, and preparing for full release. Shea Farm, confirmed operational in NHDOC's most recent RFP from March 2026, has served women nearing parole since 1973.
For federal inmates, New Hampshire falls under BOP Residential Reentry Management Philadelphia. The only known federal Residential Reentry Center in New Hampshire is Hampshire House - operated by Community Resources for Justice at 1490-1492 Elm Street, Manchester - with 45 beds for men and women referred by the Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Probation, or the federal courts.
New Hampshire does not use commercial bail bonds. For information about how the state's personal recognizance system works, see our New Hampshire bail guide.
NHDOC TRANSITIONAL HOUSING - HOW IT WORKS
NHDOC's four transitional units serve inmates in the last two years of their sentences. At the Corrections Transitional Work Center (TWC), residents are reintroduced to the community through supervised building trades education, work opportunities, and job-shadowing - a practical skills model designed around construction and vocational employment. At the Transitional Housing Units (Shea Farm, Calumet House, North End), residents are already working in their communities, returning to the facility at the end of each day.
Placement in a NHDOC transitional facility is not self-applied - it flows through case managers and the parole process. Families should engage NHDOC case management and the Adult Parole Board as early as possible before release.
HAMPSHIRE HOUSE - FEDERAL RRC IN MANCHESTER
Hampshire House at 1490-1492 Elm Street, Manchester (Hillsborough County) is operated by Community Resources for Justice (CRJ), one of the largest nonprofit corrections operators in New England. With 45 beds for men and women, Hampshire House serves individuals referred by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Probation, or federal courts - the standard federal RRC placement process managed by BOP case managers beginning 17-19 months before release.
SEX OFFENDER RESTRICTIONS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
New Hampshire's sex offender registry law (RSA §651-B) does not establish a statewide blanket distance restriction. Individual supervision conditions - set by the parole or probation officer - govern where sex offenders on supervision may reside. NH DOC records confirm sex offenders have been placed at transitional facilities including Calumet House. Contact the NHDOC Adult Parole Board for specific placement conditions.
