San Miguel County Jail Roster Overview
The San Miguel County Detention Center is the local jail facility for county custody and detainee information. The official page lists the facility at 26 NM 283, Las Vegas, NM 87701, phone 505-454-7403, fax 505-454-7409, with office hours Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and open 12-1 p.m. Staff listed in the research includes Warden Antonio Padilla, Deputy Warden Steven Garcia, Administrative Assistant Lynda Janssen, Inmate Programs Officer Crystalrae Romero, and Auditing & Staff Development Manager Xavier Romero.
The official detention page says detainee lookup services are temporarily out of service while San Miguel County transitions to a new Jail Management Service. It instructs users who need detainee lookup information to call 505-454-7403. The linked inmate inquiry form still rendered during research, so the practical advice is to try the lookup only with the outage caveat and call the Detention Center for current information.
The county detention page controls the local outage caveat, phone fallback, staff listing, and published visitation schedule for San Miguel County detainees. Use that official page and the Detention Center phone line before relying on same-day custody or visitation information.
How to Use the San Miguel County Inmate Roster
The roster path is the county detainee lookup form, but the county notice says lookup services may be temporarily out of service. If the form does not load, does not return a current result, or the custody question is urgent, call the Detention Center. Do not treat the form as a guaranteed mugshot, booking-photo, or complete jail profile database.
- Open the San Miguel County detainee lookup form if the county service is available.
- Enter a last name, first name, booking number, or a combination of available identifiers.
- Use the Include Archive Records option only when looking for older booking information rather than current custody.
- Use Search or Recent to review available results, then compare any result with the current Detention Center phone line.
- Call 505-454-7403 when the lookup is unavailable, unclear, or needed for same-day custody, bond, transport, or visitation decisions.
The rendered form supports a direct search workflow, but the official county outage notice means the Detention Center phone number remains the dependable fallback.
Jail Roster Search Fields
The San Miguel County detainee lookup form showed a small set of search fields and controls. The research did not confirm which fields are mandatory because the form did not require opening a live inmate profile. Use the least amount of information needed to identify the correct person and confirm current status by phone when timing matters.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Optional/unspecified | Primary name search field shown on the rendered form. |
| First Name | Text | Optional/unspecified | Use with last name to narrow common-name results. |
| Booking # | Text | Optional/unspecified | Useful when a booking number is already known. |
| Include Archive Records in Search | Checkbox | Optional | Includes archived records rather than only current or recent records. |
| Search | Button | Action | Runs the entered query. |
| Cancel | Button | Action | Cancels or clears the search action. |
| Recent | Button | Action | Title captured as Show Recent Bookings. |
What an Inmate Profile May Show
No actual San Miguel County inmate profile was opened during research, so exact profile fields are not confirmed. The public form suggests possible result information may include booking number, name, recent-booking status, and archive status, but that is not a verified field inventory. A profile, if available, may also omit bond, housing, release, medical, juvenile, or protected information.
| Field or Detail | Status of Research |
|---|---|
| Booking number | Likely because Booking # appears as a search field, but profile display was not confirmed. |
| Name | Likely because first and last name are search fields, but exact display was not confirmed. |
| Current custody status | Must be verified by phone during the temporary lookup transition. |
| Charges | May appear in booking context, but court-filed charges should be checked separately in court records. |
| Bond amount | Not confirmed in the profile inventory; call the Detention Center or court for current bond instructions. |
| Housing or pod | Not confirmed in a public profile; visitation schedule is published by pod/group. |
| Release date | Not confirmed for county detainee profiles; state release calculations belong to NMCD for state offenders. |
San Miguel County Detention Center Contact Card
The county research identifies one San Miguel County Detention Center contact block for local jail custody. It also identifies the Sheriff's Office separately, which enforces New Mexico law and transports San Miguel County prisoners to and from court-ordered destinations. Use the Detention Center for inmate lookup, visitation scheduling, bond instructions, and custody questions.

County Jail vs. NMCD Offender Search
San Miguel County Detention Center handles local detainees, pretrial custody, court transport, and county jail custody. The New Mexico Corrections Department offender search is different. NMCD says its offender search is for incarcerated, probation, or parole offenders under NMCD authority and that NMCD does not have jurisdiction over county or city detention facilities. Use NMCD for state prison or state supervision, not for a recent San Miguel County jail booking.
The state offender search was captured from the New Mexico Corrections Department offender search page.
NMCD can be the right source after a sentence or for state supervision, but the county Detention Center remains the local custody source.
NMCD Records and Classifications manages state offender records and release-date calculations through its systems. The screenshot below comes from NMCD Records and Classifications.
This source supports the state-custody distinction and should not be used to infer county jail profile fields.
VINELink Custody Notifications
New Mexico VINE is a custody and criminal-case notification path. NMCD's VINE page says users can call VINE at 877-551-8463 or visit VINELink for offender custody status and location information. The research describes New Mexico VINE as free, secure, and confidential. VINELink should be treated as a notification and custody-status tool, not as a substitute for the Detention Center when a local booking or same-day custody issue needs confirmation.
NMCD's VINE information page was captured from the NMCD VINE page.
This source explains the state VINE program and the 877-551-8463 phone option for custody notifications.
The public VINELink portal for New Mexico was also captured from New Mexico VINELink.
Use VINELink for notifications and status checking, while using the county jail phone line for local detention details that VINELink does not display.
Detention Center Visitation Schedule
San Miguel County Detention Center publishes an in-person visitation schedule Monday through Friday except holidays and instructs users to call 505-454-7403 to schedule. The official page did not publish mail rules, commissary vendor, money deposit vendor, phone provider, video visitation provider, dress code, ID requirements, child visitor rules, attorney visit rules, holiday rules, lockdown rules, religious-advisor rules, or medical-request procedures. Call before visiting or sending anything.
| Day | Time | Pod / Group |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | Pod A & F, Male General Population |
| Monday | 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. | Pod A & F, Male General Population |
| Tuesday | 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | Pod C, D, & E, Male General Population |
| Tuesday | 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. | Pod C, D, & E, Male General Population |
| Wednesday | 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | Pod C, D, & E, Male General Population |
| Wednesday | 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. | Pod C, D, & E, Male General Population |
| Thursday | 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | Medical Females |
| Thursday | 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. | Medical Males |

| Friday | 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. | Pod H Annex Male |
Mobile Apps and Inmate Lookup Limits
No San Miguel County Sheriff's Office app and no San Miguel County Detention Center app were found in the official research. The New Mexico Courts Case Lookup app exists for court data, and the Las Vegas, NM city app exists for city information, public safety/elected-official information, parks/facilities, report-and-track issues, and events. The city app is not an inmate lookup or warrant app.
The Las Vegas, NM city app was captured from the Apple App Store listing.
This app may help with city information, but the research does not support describing it as a jail roster tool.
The Google Play listing for the same city app was captured from the Las Vegas, NM Google Play app listing.
For inmate records, the reliable paths remain the county detainee lookup with caveat, Detention Center phone fallback, NMCD for state offenders, and VINELink for notifications.
Mail, Bond, Commissary, and Records Requests
The Detention Center page links bond information, but the static research did not retrieve a separate bond page. Accepted bond payment methods, bond-window hours, bondsman rules, commissary vendor, money deposit method, mail rules, video visit vendor, phone provider, and tablet provider were not published in the inspected county source. Do not assume a vendor or rule. Call 505-454-7403 before posting bond, scheduling visits, sending mail, depositing funds, or relying on a release estimate.
For booking or custody records that are not available online, use the San Miguel County public-records request process when the county holds the record. Law-enforcement, privacy, juvenile, medical, active-investigation, and court-order limits may apply. Court charges, warrants, hearings, and dispositions should be checked with New Mexico court records rather than treated as jail records.
