How to send messages, photos, and packages
Central New Mexico Correctional Facility doesn't schedule video visits directly. Instead, video visits run through Smart Communication on inmate tablets, and NMCD must approve visitors before anyone can connect. To request a video conference, fill out the Video Schedule Request form (CD-044101.1) and email it to NMCD-video@state.nm.us. For internal scheduling requests, submit the form at least two weeks ahead. Questions about availability? Call 827-8683 or 827-8641. Families should set up an account with the facility's approved communications vendor and keep funds available for phone, messaging, and tablet-based video services. Attorneys and other authorized parties should follow NMCD procedures for special legal calls or unmonitored sessions.
