Start With the Sheriff Phone Line
No official online Guadalupe County jail roster, current-inmate search, booking report, released-inmate list, county mugshot gallery, or sheriff app was confirmed in the research. The current local custody starting point is the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office, 565 River Rd., #1, Santa Rosa, NM 88435, phone (575) 472-3711. Directory and election sources identify the sheriff as Lorenzo Mata. The county contact directory repeats the sheriff office contact information, but the county website does not publish a detention center page with capacity, visiting hours, booking-search fields, commissary instructions, or a jail administrator contact.
The absence of a county roster matters because a recent arrest can move through several systems before a public record is easy to find. A person may be booked and released, moved to another lawful holding point, brought to court, transferred on a warrant, held for probation/parole, or later committed to the New Mexico Corrections Department. The confirmed detention facility physically in the county is Guadalupe County Correctional Facility, an NMCD state prison at 1039 Agua Negra Road in Santa Rosa. It is searched through NMCD Offender Search, not through a county jail roster.
Fallback Chain for a Recent Arrest
When no public county roster exists, the most reliable Guadalupe County inmate lookup is a sequence of agency checks. The sequence separates custody location from court charges, and it keeps state, federal, and immigration systems from being mixed together.
- Call the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office at (575) 472-3711. Ask whether the person was arrested locally, released, transported, or held for another agency.
- Have the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, and any warrant or case number ready before calling.
- If custody is not confirmed by phone, ask how to submit an Inspection of Public Records Act request for a booking sheet, jail log entry, arrest report, release record, or transfer record.
- Search New Mexico Case Lookup or Odyssey Public Access for charges, hearings, and case status. Court records can exist even after a person leaves custody.
- Check NMCD Offender Search if the person may be sentenced, on probation, on parole, or held as a state prisoner or male parole violator.
- Use the BOP inmate locator for federal sentenced custody and the U.S. Marshals District of New Mexico for federal pretrial custody questions.
- Use ICE Online Detainee Locator System for immigration detention and VINELink or New Mexico VINE for custody notifications when the person appears in a participating system.
County Roster Search Fields
The official county site does not expose public jail roster fields, profile pages, refresh timing, release-retention rules, or a recent-bookings feed. The 2022 New Mexico Unified Jails Task Force report listed Guadalupe County as having no jail facility while also listing a state prison in the county. That finding is why a county roster field table has only a no-fields entry.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| No official county roster located | n/a | n/a | The county and sheriff pages did not publish search boxes, filters, booking-profile pages, mugshot galleries, release lists, or a current jail roster. |
NMCD Search Is Not the County Jail
NMCD Offender Search is the correct tool for sentenced New Mexico prisoners, probationers, parolees, and people in NMCD custody, including people assigned to Guadalupe County Correctional Facility. NMCD states that county and city detention facilities are outside NMCD jurisdiction. Prison information is updated nightly, probation and parole information is updated in real time, and NMCD warns that offenders can move, so location and legal status should be verified with the institution or probation/parole office.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | First and/or last name required | Use full or partial first name when the NMCD number is unknown. |
| Last Name | Text | First and/or last name required | Search legal spelling and aliases if a first search fails. |
| NMCD Number | Text | Alternative to name | Best for a known state corrections record. |
| Offender Number | Numeric text | Alternative to name | The direct app validates numeric input. |
| Offender Status | Radio | Optional | Active default, Include Inactive, or Absconder Only. |
| Select Region | Dropdown | Optional | All Regions, Region I, Region II, Region III, or Region IV. |
| Age From / Age To | Number | Optional | The app validates adult ages. |
| reCAPTCHA | Challenge | Yes to submit | Required before the search runs. |
Booking Record Fields to Request
No public Guadalupe County inmate profile could be inspected because no official roster was located. A written IPRA request can still ask for booking or arrest records with reasonable particularity. Release is not automatic for every field. Medical and mental-health information, protected personal identifiers, victim or witness details, and confidential law-enforcement material may be withheld or redacted under New Mexico law.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and identifiers | Person booked or arrested, with DOB or other identifiers used to distinguish common names where releasable. |
| Booking date and time | When the intake event was created or logged by the holding agency. |
| Arresting agency | Sheriff, Santa Rosa police, New Mexico State Police, warrant agency, or another arresting authority. |
| Charges booked | Allegations entered from arrest paperwork, warrant paperwork, or complaint documents. These may differ from filed court charges. |
| Bond or hold information | Release conditions, cash or secured bond, no-release orders, detainers, warrant holds, or agency holds if recorded and releasable. |
| Custody status | Held, released, transferred, out to court, or moved to another agency, depending on what the record system tracks. |
| Booking photograph | Photograph maintained with biometric booking information if collected and if release is permitted after redaction review. |
| Release or transfer record | Release date, transport, court remand, or transfer to NMCD, federal custody, another county, or another agency. |
Local Arrest Records Contact
Use the River Road sheriff location for local arrest and custody questions, not the state prison address. The prison south of Santa Rosa is a separate NMCD facility for state-supervised people. The county clerk's online-records page is useful for clerk records, but it is not a jail roster or booking search.

County Jail, State, Federal, and ICE
Guadalupe County inmate records are easiest to read when the custody system is identified first. A local arrest record answers where the person was booked or released. A court record answers what charges were filed and what hearings are scheduled. A state corrections record answers whether the person is in NMCD prison, probation, or parole supervision. Federal and immigration locators answer different custody questions and should not be treated as county jail rosters.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Usually Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Recent local arrest or county booking | Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office by phone, in person, or IPRA request | Whether the person was booked, released, transported, or held for another agency. |
| Court case after arrest | Court records after jail arrest, New Mexico Case Lookup, Odyssey, and local court clerks | Charges filed, case number, hearings, dispositions, warrants, and bond orders. |
| Sentenced state prisoner, parole, or probation | NMCD Offender Search and the assigned institution or supervision office | State offender status, NMCD number, location, and supervision category. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal register number, BOP custody location, age, sex, race, and release information when available. |
| Federal pretrial custody | U.S. Marshals District of New Mexico, federal court, or defense counsel | Housing and transport for a federal defendant before commitment to BOP. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS or 1-866-DHS-2-ICE | Current ICE custody or recent DHS custody by A-number/country or biographic search. |
| Custody notifications | VINELink and New Mexico VINE | Release, out-to-court, and escape notifications where available, with no NMCD transfer notifications between prisons. |
Booking and Intake Records
A local Guadalupe County arrest may involve the sheriff, Santa Rosa police, New Mexico State Police, or another agency. The expected booking sequence includes identity confirmation, property inventory, required biometric collection, booking photograph, charge entry, bond or hold review, classification if the person remains in custody, and court routing. New Mexico law requires booking facilities to collect biometric identifying information, including photographs, fingerprints, and palm prints, for listed arrests before release.
Timing should not be confused with online roster posting. New Mexico Magistrate Court Rule 6-401 addresses release-condition hearing timing for a defendant held in local detention, and Rule 5-301 commentary refers to appearance without unnecessary delay. Those rules help explain why court records may appear quickly, but they do not create a Guadalupe County online roster or guarantee that a booking appears on a public web page.
County Visit, Mail, and Commissary Gaps
The county website did not publish a confirmed county jail visitation schedule, mail format, video visit vendor, phone provider, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, fee table, dress code, property policy, or attorney visit rule. Do not send mail, money, or a visitor to a presumed county jail without first confirming the actual holding facility.
| Topic | Official Guadalupe County Detail Located? | Practical Instruction |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | No county jail facility or schedule confirmed | Call (575) 472-3711 and ask where the person is held before traveling. |
| Video visits | No county vendor found | No local video-visit claim is supported by the official research. |
| No county jail address format found | Do not mail until the sheriff or actual holding facility confirms custody and format. | |
| Commissary and money | No county vendor or fee table found | Ask the actual holding facility for accepted deposit methods. |
| Phone calls | No county phone provider or rate page found | Ask the holding facility for phone-account rules. |
| Attorney visits | No county policy found | Attorneys should contact the sheriff, court, or holding facility directly. |
GCCF Visits, Mail, and Money
Guadalupe County Correctional Facility follows NMCD rules, not county jail rules. NMCD says in-person visit requests for GCCF go to GCCF.Visitation@cd.nm.gov, and the visitation policy uses visitor applications, renewal rules, picture ID, minor visitor requirements, dress code, searches, special visit requests, and tele-visit applications. NMCD correspondence policy controls legal mail, non-legal mail, packages, contraband review, and forwarding. Approved visitors may send money orders with the inmate full name and NMCD number, and NMCD identifies Union Supply Direct for quarterly package orders.
Note: Confirm the person is in NMCD custody before using GCCF visitation, mail, package, or money-order instructions.
IPRA Requests for Booking Records
The Inspection of Public Records Act gives a broad right to inspect New Mexico public records, subject to exceptions. A useful sheriff request should identify the person, date, arresting agency, and record type with reasonable particularity. Ask for the booking sheet, arrest report, jail log entry, bond or hold record, release or transfer record, and booking photograph if maintained and releasable. If the agency says part of a record is exempt, New Mexico law supports separating exempt and nonexempt material when possible.
Court documents should be requested through New Mexico Courts, not the sheriff, when the needed record is a complaint, information, indictment, docket entry, bond order, or disposition. The Fourth Judicial District location and contacts page lists the Guadalupe County district and magistrate courthouse contacts for Santa Rosa. NMCD records should be requested through NMCD channels when the person is a state prisoner, probationer, or parolee. Separating those offices prevents a local request from being misrouted to an agency that does not hold the record.
