The Doña Ana County Detention Center temporarily suspended on-site, family visitation, effective immediately, to help minimize exposure and the danger of spreading COVID-19 to the community, staff or detainees.
Instead, the Center extended online remote visitation hours, from 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Family members may schedule fee-based visits from home, using a laptop or desktop computer at www.legacyinmate.com/Prepaid/. Detention Center management is working with the service provider to enable a free-of-charge call, once a week, per inmate, in addition to paid calls.
The Juvenile Detention Center will continue to allow in-person visits. However, they must be pre-scheduled prior to arrival and will be limited to one visitor at a time, through a glass partition. To schedule a visit with a juvenile detainee, please call (575) 647-7680.
Detainees continue to be able to make phone calls, at their regularly scheduled times. A number of options are available for inmates to make phone calls, including collect, pre-paid or debit, through www.legacyinmate.com/Prepaid/. Text messaging is also available at www.gettingout.com/.
This action is in line with those taken by the El Paso County Detention Facility and other detention centers in the state, following guidance from Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC.
