How to Look Up Someone at San Juan County Adult Detention Center (Official Detainee Inquiry)

San Juan County posts detainee information - booking details, charges, bond amounts, and mugshots - exclusively through its online detainee lookup system. This is the county's official public record, which means you're getting current data rather than outdated screenshots floating around social media. When you need to confirm someone's custody status or review their record, start here.

1. Go to the county’s Detainee Inquiry page - This is the only place San Juan County uses to publicly post detainee information, including booking, charges, bonding, and mugshots.
2. Enter the person’s name - Use the spelling you have. If you’re not sure, try a shorter version of the name and review the matches.
3. Run the search and review the list - Results will show identifying details (like subject and booking numbers) and whether the person is in custody.
4. Open the matching record carefully - Confirm you’ve selected the right person before you rely on what you’re seeing, especially if the name is common.

• ✓ Schedule and complete detainee visits online (the facility requires online scheduling and online visits).

The Detainee Inquiry results page displays several fields to help you confirm you've found the right person: Name, Subject Number, Booking Number, and an "In Custody" indicator. You'll also see a Booking From Date, Booking To Date, and the Housing Facility. Dealing with a common name? Those numbers and dates are the fastest way to tell records apart.

If something looks off - a custody status that doesn't match what you heard, or dates that seem wrong - refresh the Detainee Inquiry to make sure you're seeing the latest posting. Still not sure? Call the San Juan County Adult Detention Center directly at (505) 566-4500 and ask staff to verify what you're seeing.

Unofficial pages sometimes pull or repost jail information, but San Juan County has made clear that certain third-party sources aren't affiliated with or endorsed by the county or the detention center. To avoid bad information - especially about charges, bond, or mugshots - use the official Detainee Inquiry.
