Send Money at Western Nm Corrections Facility

How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Overview

Western New Mexico C.F. only accepts outside funds by U.S. mail as a money order that clearly identifies the inmate. Cash, currency, personal checks, anonymous gifts, and funds from suspended visitors aren't accepted—they'll be returned. The sender must be on the inmate's approved visiting list, and you can't leave money at the facility. Inmates also can't transfer funds to anyone not on their approved visitors list. Transfers to approved visitors require a debit memo and confirmation from a Classification Officer. Inmate trust fund accounts are treated as confidential. Unclaimed ITF checks after six months—or checks returned as undeliverable—get reported to the Taxation and Revenue Department. Before mailing anything, double-check formatting guidance like including the inmate's name and ID.
