How to find an inmate
De Baca County has no county jail, so call the De Baca County Sheriff's Office in Fort Sumner with the person's full name and date of birth. Staff can tell you which contracted detention center is holding the person. People sentenced to state prison are listed in the New Mexico Corrections Department offender search.
Visitation
Visitation follows the rules of the detention center where the person is actually held. Ask the Sheriff's Office which facility that is, then contact that facility for its visiting procedures and schedule.
Bail and bond
Bail is set by a judge, usually at the De Baca County Magistrate Court or the Tenth Judicial District Court. Contact the Sheriff's Office or the holding facility to confirm the bond amount and how to pay it.
Mail and money
Mail and money go to the facility that holds the inmate, not to the De Baca County Sheriff's Office. Confirm the facility with the Sheriff's Office, then follow that facility's mail and deposit rules.
