How to Visit Facility

To get information about someone housed at Torrance County Detention Facility, call (505) 452-4821 between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. Have the person's details ready so staff can pull up the right record: first and last name (including hyphenated names), any aliases, date of birth, and country of birth. If you're helping with release planning, bond posting hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the time zone where the person is detained.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Call (505) 452-4821 between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. to ask for detainee information.
• ✓ Have these details ready: first and last name (including hyphenated names), any aliases, date of birth, and country of birth.

• ✓ If you plan to post bond, aim for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the time zone where the person is detained.

If you need to get an urgent message to a detainee, call (505) 384-2711. Leave the detainee’s full name and alien registration number, plus your name and the phone number where you can be reached.

Before you count on any schedule, confirm it by phone. Double-check the detainee-information hours (7 a.m. to 3 p.m.), the urgent-message process at (505) 384-2711, and bond posting hours (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) based on the time zone where the person is detained.

1. Confirm what details they need: When you call for detainee information, ask if they need anything beyond name details, aliases, date of birth, and country of birth.
2. Ask about communication options: Since detainees cannot receive incoming calls, confirm the correct way to leave messages (including what information they require) and whether any other approved contact methods are available through the facility.
