How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To send funds to an inmate at Central New Mexico Correctional Facility, mail a money order that clearly shows the inmate's name and five-digit Corrections number. Both are required for the deposit to be accepted. The facility also requires the sender to already be on the inmate's approved visitor list. Before mailing anything, double-check that you're using the inmate's full name and the exact ID format the facility requires. Small errors can slow processing. Some facilities also offer other deposit methods, like approved third-party vendor deposits (online or by phone) or lobby kiosks. Commissary purchases typically come from the inmate's account. Since deposit options and formatting rules can vary, confirm Central New Mexico's current deposit instructions before sending money.
