Purpose of This Guide
New Mexico public-record rules make many jail and court materials available, but San Juan County custody information is split across several official systems. The San Juan County Adult Detention Center in Farmington posts county detainee information through its Tyler Detainee Inquiry. Sentenced state prisoners move into the separate New Mexico Corrections Department search. Federal Bureau of Prisons and ICE detainees use federal locators, not the county roster. This site brings those roster, locator, facility, visitation, and request paths into one organized guide.
