About the San Miguel County Detention Center
Las Vegas, New Mexico is the home of the San Miguel County Detention Center where all of the adults who are arrested by the local sheriff or federal agency are housed until they have had bail paid, are released due to completing their sentence, or are released for other reasons. The facility houses only adult offenders and a nearby juvenile facility is used for all youth offenders. This full service facility is prepared to care for all of the basic needs of all offenders housed within, and they will have access to not only healthy meals but also laundry, clothing, bedding, recreation, exercise, and medical care as needed. Some court appearances can be accommodated through a video system, limiting the transportation of inmates to locations outside of the facility. As one of the ways in which the population is supported in their rehabilitation is through the use of contact with their friends and family through mail, phone calls, and visits. It has been shown that inmates who have contact with loved ones will create a safer and calmer environment. This facility is operated by the local sheriff’s office, and falls under their umbrella of responsibility, along with apprehending those with outstanding warrants, protecting the community, and housing inmates in a safe and secure environment until the court has ordered their release.

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the San Miguel County Detention Center?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
San Miguel County Detention Center uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the San Miguel County Detention Center first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
