How to find an inmate
Cabo Rojo has no local jail or sheriff, so people arrested in the municipio are placed in a Puerto Rico Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR) institution, usually in the western region. Call the DCR central office with the person's full name and date of birth to learn where they are held, or check dcr.pr.gov. The DCR holds both pretrial detainees and people sentenced to prison.
Visitation
Visits are run by the DCR institution where the inmate is housed, not by the municipio of Cabo Rojo. Visitors generally must register in advance and bring valid photo ID. Confirm schedules and rules with the DCR or the specific institution before you go.
Bail and bond
After an arrest by the Puerto Rico Police Bureau, a judge of the Court of First Instance, usually at the Mayagüez Judicial Region, sets bail (fianza). Bail is posted through the court, and the Pretrial Services Program may recommend release conditions. Confirm the amount and payment process with the court clerk or the defense attorney.
Mail and money
Send mail and money according to the rules of the DCR institution holding the inmate, and include the inmate's full name and ID number. Ask the DCR or the institution which deposit methods are currently accepted and what items are allowed.
