How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending money to someone at Grants NM Corrections? The facility accepts U.S. currency and authorized money orders, depositing them into the inmate's Trust Fund Account. Checks, non-authorized money orders, and foreign currency get documented and held by the jail instead of deposited. Any mail you send will be inspected for money and contraband, and may be scanned before delivery. You can deposit funds through approved third-party online or phone vendors, lobby kiosks, or mailed money orders. Always include the inmate's full name and facility inmate ID exactly as required. Check the facility page for current accepted payment types and sender rules, since restrictions can vary.

At Grants (NENMCF), in-person visits are non-contact by default. This means there's a physical barrier between you and the person you're visitingāno touching, hugging, kissing, or holding hands. The only way to have a contact visit is if you qualify as immediate family and have provided proof of kinship.
Want to connect quickly? Start by confirming their visitation time. This facility creates a new visitation schedule for each new inmate every Friday. You can check that schedule by calling the facility, or the inmate may be able to call out and tell you directly.
Getting approved to visit is mostly paperwork and patienceābut a few NMCD rules can stop an application cold if you miss them. Here's how to submit the right form, avoid common rejection reasons, and understand what you'll sign before visiting at Grants.
