This is a private reference site, not a Roosevelt County government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a detainee, post bond, schedule visitation, or obtain official booking records. Use the official contacts below for those requests.
Roosevelt County Record Contacts
Roosevelt County inmate and public-record questions split by record type. Current jail custody starts with Roosevelt County Detention Center. Sheriff's Office reports and fees are handled through the sheriff. County public-record requests go through Roosevelt County's IPRA custodian and NextRequest portal. Court charges and hearings are maintained by the courts, not by this site.

Use the list below to choose the best starting point.
- For someone in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and the detention center phone line.
- For booking photos, review jail roster mugshots and use the county IPRA process if no photo is posted.
- For charges or hearings after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the court contacts below.
- For facility rules, use the Roosevelt County Detention Center page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the New Mexico Corrections Department offender search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE detainee locator.
