Curry County Detention Overview

Curry County Adult Detention Center is the county's primary adult detention facility. The county describes its mission as providing safe, secure, and humane detention for people placed in county custody by the courts while serving the public and participating law-enforcement agencies. The facility also provides detention services for City of Clovis law enforcement agencies, so many Clovis adult arrests route to this county jail rather than to a separate city roster.

The building is at 801 Mitchell St. in Clovis. Curry County says the adult facility was built in 1993 as a two-story linear masonry building, originally designed for 208 beds, and upgraded in 2020. The official current capacity is 262 beds. The jail has booking, medical, sally-port, kitchen, laundry, visitation, exercise, and multipurpose areas, plus 10 secure housing units. Most detainees are housed four to a cell.

Curry County Jail Population

Curry County publishes current, local population facts for this facility. In FY2025, the jail processed 1,848 detainees and reported an average daily population of 170. The county also states that most people housed during that period were pretrial detainees. The average daily population compared with the 262-bed capacity equals about 65 percent of reported capacity, a calculation based on the county figures rather than a county overcrowding finding.

The county does not publish a detailed public demographic dashboard for the Adult Detention Center. No official breakdown by sex, race, age, charge level, average length of stay, federal holds, or ICE holds was located. Those gaps should not be filled from statewide prison data because state-prison demographics describe a different population.

Lookup Curry County Detention Inmates

The correct online lookup for this county jail is the Curry County Detention Center Inmate Inquiry. Search by last name first, then add first name if the result set is broad. The archive checkbox may help with older booking records, but the county does not publish how long archive records remain searchable.

1. Open the official Curry County Inmate Inquiry.
2. Enter the person's last name and, when helpful, first name.
3. Use the archive checkbox only when checking for a past booking.
4. Call (575) 762-3819 if the arrest is recent or the result is unclear.
5. Use NMCD, BOP, ICE, or VINE only when the person may be outside county jail custody.

The facility page should not be confused with state corrections. The NMCD offender search covers sentenced state prisoners and people on probation or parole. NMCD says it does not have jurisdiction over county or city detention centers.

Curry County Detention Contact

The jail is near the central Clovis government and law-enforcement district. Official pages list the main detention phone as (575) 762-3819, with a related detention administration number at (575) 762-3810. Call before visiting because public lobby hours, parking diagrams, and transit directions were not published in the official sources reviewed.

Visit Curry County Detention

Curry County's current visitation policy points personal video visits to GettingOut accounts. Visitors must dress appropriately, behave in an orderly way, and follow the no-photo rule for visit sessions. Screenshots, recordings, and photographs of the visit are prohibited. New arrivals may have a 24-to-48-hour visitation restriction, except clergy and attorney access.

Curry County Jail Mail

Curry County uses digital delivery for personal inmate mail. Personal mail is not physically delivered at 801 Mitchell St.; it is routed for scanning and tablet delivery. The sender's full name and physical address must be in the top-left corner of the envelope. Packages sent to the jail for inmates are not accepted.

Curry County Inmate Money

Money, phone, and tablet services are split by vendor. Curry County publishes the vendor names and support phone numbers but does not publish a vendor-fee table. Confirm fees, limits, refund rules, and card charges with the vendor before sending funds. Also confirm custody status with the jail before funding an account for a person who may have been released or transferred.

Curry County Booking Intake

Adults arrested by Curry County or Clovis law enforcement may be transported to the jail when placed in county custody. Intake can involve receiving the person through the sally port, checking identity and arrest paperwork, inventorying property, entering booking data, collecting biometric information, screening for medical and mental-health needs, taking a booking photo, and assigning classification.

New Mexico legislative materials for Section 29-3-8 NMSA 1978 describe booking photographs, fingerprints, and palm prints as biometric identifying information of an arrested person. That supports why booking data exists, but it does not mean every photo or field is posted online. Medical and mental-health information is not a public roster item.

Curry County Detention Programs

Curry County publishes a detailed program list. Services include 24-hour medical and mental-health support, in-house mental-health prevention and intervention, referrals, medication-assisted treatment for opioid and other substance-use dependencies, educational programs in person and on detainee tablets, faith-based programs through the detention chaplain and volunteers, Medicaid enrollment, veteran crisis intervention through Goodwill Industries, and detainee work programs in kitchen, laundry, porter, and outside detail roles.

The county names Captain Melissa Lujan as PREA Program Coordinator and Assistant Detention Administrator Joe Alaniz as Program Manager. PREA reports can be made at 575-763-1733 or 575-763-1490. Curry County states that messages are checked Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and that calls are recorded.
