How to Apply for Visiting Privileges at Western New Mexico C.F. (and What Happens Next)
Getting approved to visit at Western New Mexico C.F. starts with the right paperwork. Here's what to fill out, what you're agreeing to when you sign, and how to check your status if things stall.
To request visiting privileges at Western New Mexico C.F., submit the New Mexico Corrections Department Visitor Application for Visiting Privileges (CD-100201.1). That's the form that kicks off the approval process. NMCD uses other visitor-related forms for specific situations - Denial/Suspension of Visiting Privileges (CD-100201.2), Special Visit Request (CD-100201.3), and hearing paperwork if something goes wrong. There's also a separate Tele-visit Application (CD-100203.1) for video visits.
Required before you can visit: Every visitor must read and sign the Visitor Statement of Understanding (CD-100201.A) before any visit.
Start by completing the Visitor Application for Visiting Privileges (CD-100201.1). This is the form NMCD uses to decide whether you can be added as an approved visitor. Fill it out carefully - this paperwork is the foundation of your request.
Tip: Take your time and answer every question honestly. Incomplete or inaccurate information can slow things down or lead to a denial.
Before any visit, NMCD requires you to read and sign the Visitor Statement of Understanding (CD-100201.A). This confirms you understand the facility's visiting rules and security requirements - and that you agree to follow them while on institutional grounds.
What you're agreeing to: You can be searched at any time while on institutional grounds, including with canine and mechanical detection devices. Refusing a strip search means your visit gets canceled or suspended. Strip searches require probable cause (determined by the Warden) and must be conducted by an employee of the same sex in a private area.
Approval doesn't last forever. You'll need to renew your Visitor Application for Visiting Privileges (CD-100201.1) every two years. Plan ahead so there's no gap in your visiting access.
If you're denied or your privileges are suspended, NMCD has specific forms and procedures for that. You may receive paperwork about the denial or suspension, a proposed action, and details about a visitor hearing process. Your best move is to find out which form applies to your situation so you can respond through the right channel.
