Choose the channel that matches the record or custody question:
- For someone believed to be in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and the Socorro County Detention Center.
- For booking photos, use the jail roster mugshots page and then verify with the jail if the online roster is unavailable.
- For charges or hearings filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Socorro Magistrate or District Court contact above.
- For facility-specific questions, use the Socorro County Detention Center page linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner or a probation or parole record, use the New Mexico Corrections Department (NMCD) offender search. NMCD is not the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator. Those systems are separate from Socorro County jail records.
