This is a private reference site, not a Lea County or New Mexico government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.
Official Records Contacts
Lea County Detention Center is county-administered, so jail-release requests route to LCDC and the county public information officer rather than automatically to the sheriff. Hours not published by an agency should be confirmed before a visit.

Choose the contact that matches the question:
- For a named released person or an LCDC release record, the home page gives the official search and written-request path.
- For community supervision, use the Probation & Parole page and Region IV office details.
- For the most recent local window, start with Jail Releases: 24 Hours, which explains why Lea County requires a records request.
- For timing or alerts, use Projected Release and the VINELink page available from the site navigation.
- For a specific custody setting, select its facility page from the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the New Mexico Corrections Department offender search or records office.
- For a federal or documented immigration handoff, use the Bureau of Prisons locator, the federal case record, ICE locator, or ICE information line as appropriate.
