How to Visit Curry County Detention Center (NM)

All personal visits at Curry County Detention Center happen by video through gettingout.com. You'll need to create an account on gettingout.com before you can visit, so handle that step first. This is especially true if you're trying to visit the same day.

For general housing, video visitation hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Friday through Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The Special Management Unit (SMU) runs on a different schedule: Monday through Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. SMU visits are held in the facility and require an appointment.

If the person you want to see just arrived, expect a short waiting period. Inmates who turn themselves in or are transported from other facilities may be restricted from visitation for 24 to 48 hours after arrival.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Create your visitor account on gettingout.com
• ✓ Use the gettingout.com video system for the personal visit (all personal visits are conducted by video)

• ✓ Wear appropriate clothing for the visit
• ✓ Do not take screenshots, recordings, or photos during the visit session
• ✓ Avoid any misconduct during the visit, since it can end the visit and may lead to loss of future visitation privileges

• ✓ Choose a time within general housing hours: Monday to Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Friday to Sunday 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
• ✓ If the inmate is in SMU, plan for SMU hours (Monday to Sunday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) and set an appointment for the in-facility visit
• ✓ If the inmate just turned themselves in or transferred in, wait out the possible 24 to 48 hour restriction after arrival before expecting visitation to be available

Before you build your day around a visit, confirm that the facility is still running personal visits as video visits through gettingout.com. If you already have an account, double-check that it's set up correctly for visitation. If you don't have one yet, create it on gettingout.com before scheduling anything.

Schedules can change, so verify the current hours before you plan your visit. General housing hours are Monday to Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Friday to Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. For an SMU visit, confirm the appointment-only process and the current SMU hours (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Sunday). If the person you're visiting recently arrived, check whether the 24 to 48 hour restriction applies to them.

Rules are enforced closely during visitation, so it's worth re-checking what's allowed. Wear appropriate clothing, and remember that screenshots, recordings, and photos of the visit session are prohibited. If you're unsure what counts as misconduct, ask ahead of time. Violations can end your visit and may affect future visitation privileges.
