How to Send Mail to Inmates

To prevent introduction of drugs and contraband, Santa Fe County Detention has updated their process for sending mail to inmates. All inmate personal mail will be sent to a central processing facility, not to the Jail where an inmate is housed. At this JailATM.com mail processing facility, mail will be opened, scanned and sent to the inmate digitally to the inmate at the facility. No parcel packages will be processed, and inmates will not receive them.

EFFECTIVE (September 1, 2024), All inmate mail should be mailed to the following address utilizing existing jail facility mail rules.
