How to Send Money to Central New Mexico Correctional Facility (NM)

Sending funds to someone at Central New Mexico Correctional Facility? You'll need to use a money order. No other payment methods have been confirmed. Fill it out carefully. Include the incarcerated person's full name and their five-digit Corrections number so staff can match the funds to the right account. One detail that trips people up: the sender has to be on the inmate's approved visitor list. If you're not on that list, the money may not be accepted for deposit.

Steps-to-follow

• ✓ Get a money order (this is the required form for sending funds).
• ✓ Write the inmate’s name and five-digit Corrections number on the money order.
• ✓ Make sure you are on the inmate’s approved visitor list before you send money.

Since confirmed details are limited, verify a few things before you buy and send a money order. Contact the facility directly (or check the New Mexico Corrections Department's official resources) and ask whether any other payment forms are accepted, exactly how they want the five-digit Corrections number written, and whether there are exceptions to the approved-visitor-list requirement. A quick call upfront can save you from a delayed or rejected money order.
