How to Find Someone at San Juan County Jail (Official Lookup & What It Shows)
Trying to confirm whether someone is being held at the San Juan County Adult Detention Center? Start with the county's official Detainee Inquiry. It's the only public source San Juan County uses to post booking-related information, making it the most reliable way to avoid bad info from third-party sites.
San Juan County posts detainee information through the Adult Detention Center Detainee Inquiry, its official online lookup tool. Need booking details, charges, bonding information, or mugshots for current or past detainees? The county directs the public to that system. If a record doesn't appear in the Detainee Inquiry, the county isn't posting it publicly anywhere else.
Note: San Juan County states that the Adult Detention Center Detainee Inquiry is the only place where detainee information is publicly posted by the county.
Be careful about where your information is coming from. The San Juan County Adult Detention Center specifically warns that the Facebook page titled "San Juan County, NM Arrests" and the website PublicJailRecords.com are not affiliated with San Juan County or the detention center. Before you rely on a social post or a "public records" website, check the source.
Action step: If you spot an arrest post or listing somewhere other than the official system, verify it through the Adult Detention Center Detainee Inquiry before you act on it, send money, share the post, or assume it's accurate.
Fields
- ✓ Name
- ✓ Subject Number
- ✓ Booking Number
- ✓ In Custody
- ✓ Booking From Date
- ✓ Booking To Date
- ✓ Housing Facility
Those are the core fields you'll find in the official Detainee Inquiry. For other details (booking information, charges, bonding information, mugshots), San Juan County points the public to that same online lookup as the only public source. If something you expected to see isn't there, the county likely isn't posting it publicly.
- Double-check what you’re searching for. Use the official online lookup as your source, and confirm you have the correct spelling of the person’s name (and any other identifying details you have).
- Call the jail for help. Contact the San Juan County Adult Detention Center (Jail) at (505) 566-4500. Have the person’s name ready, plus date of birth or a booking number if you know it.
Verify Tips
- ✓ Match what you see elsewhere to the official Detainee Inquiry (name, booking number, and in-custody status are a good starting point).
- ✓ Be cautious with sites that charge you to “unlock” basic jail info. San Juan County’s official detainee information is posted through its online lookup.
- ✓ Treat social media posts as unverified until you can confirm the person in the county’s official Detainee Inquiry.
Warning: The San Juan County Adult Detention Center says the Facebook page "San Juan County, NM Arrests" and PublicJailRecords.com are not affiliated with the county or the detention center.
