Quay County Jail Roster Status
No official online Quay County jail roster was found on the Quay County Sheriff's Office page or the Quay County Detention page. The county detention page links to Inmate Canteen for commissary and online visitation, but the portal did not expose a public, crawlable Quay County roster or sample inmate profile during research. For current county custody, the documented channel is a direct call to Quay County Detention.
That local jail contact is separate from state and federal custody. The New Mexico Corrections Department offender search covers state prison, probation, and parole records. NMCD explicitly states that it does not have jurisdiction over county or city detention facilities. The Federal Bureau of Prisons is also separate, and no federal prison facility was identified in Quay County.
Important: NMCD offender search is not the Quay County jail roster and should not be used as proof of local custody.
Search Quay County Inmate Records
Because no official Quay County online inmate roster was found, the search process uses documented custody channels. Begin with the local detention office for current jail status. Use NMCD only when the person may be in state prison, probation, or parole supervision. Use court records when the question is about charges, bond, court dates, or case disposition rather than where the person is held.
- Call Quay County Detention and provide the inmate's full name, spelling, and any known date of birth or case detail.
- Ask whether the person is in current county custody, recently released, transferred, or held for another agency.
- If the person may be in state custody, search NMCD by first name, last name, or NMCD number.
- For charges, bond, or appearance dates, check the filing court or New Mexico Case Lookup instead of a jail vendor.
- For visitation, money, or phone setup, use the county-listed vendor channels after confirming the person is held locally.
People arrested on Quay County warrants or new criminal allegations may move between law enforcement, detention, Magistrate Court, Municipal Court, and District Court. The custody question and the court-record question are related, but they are not the same record. Jail staff can address current detention status. Courts maintain the case record.
Quay County Inmate Search Fields
No official Quay County jail roster search-field table could be captured because no county roster was found. The only inspected offender-search fields belong to NMCD, and those fields are for state prison, probation, or parole. The table keeps those channels separate so a county jail search is not confused with a state offender search.
| Channel | Field Label | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quay County Detention | Full name by phone | Needed for staff lookup | No online county roster fields were published. |
| NMCD Offender Search | First Name | First and/or last name or NMCD number required | State prison, probation, and parole only. |
| NMCD Offender Search | Last Name | First and/or last name or NMCD number required | Use with first name when possible. |
| NMCD Offender Search | NMCD Number | Alternative required path | State offender identifier. |
| New Mexico Case Lookup | Name, case number, or DWI search | Depends on search path | Case information, not jail custody. |
What Quay County Inmate Records Show
No official Quay County sample inmate profile was viewable. The research did not confirm public fields for mugshot, booking number, booking date, charges, bond, housing location, court date, release date, or warrant number from a county roster. Those fields may exist in internal jail or court systems, but they should not be advertised as public roster fields without an official source.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Current county custody | Confirm by calling Quay County Detention because no online roster was found. |
| State prison or supervision status | Search NMCD by name or NMCD number when the person is in state custody, probation, or parole. |
| Charges and court case details | Use the filing court or Case Lookup; jail records and court records are separate. |
| Bond or appearance information | Ask detention or the court tied to the case, especially after a warrant arrest. |
| Release or transfer status | Confirm with detention because inmates can move between agencies or courts. |
| Public limits | Juvenile, sealed, personal identifying, and protected records may not be available publicly. |
The NMCD offender search page is one of the successful manifest image sources for Quay County inmate records.
This state search is useful when a person has left local custody for prison or supervision, but it does not replace direct Quay County Detention confirmation.
Quay County Jail Facility
The official county detention source identifies one local detention office for Quay County. No official jail capacity number, detailed handbook, housing-unit list, or separate annex facility was located in the inspected sources. The Sheriff's Office is a separate county office in the courthouse, while Quay County Detention is listed at West High Street.
Quay County Detention Office
223 West High Street
Tucumcari, NM 88401
575-461-4664
Office hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-noon and 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m., excluding holidays.
The NMCD prison facilities list is a separate statewide source for state prison locations.
The state facility list helps after a transfer to prison, but current Quay County jail custody still runs through the local detention office.
Quay County Booking Path
Booking information can start with the sheriff, Tucumcari Police, another law-enforcement agency, or a warrant arrest. The detention office can confirm whether a person is currently held, transferred, or released. The court record may show the charge, citation, case number, hearing, plea, disposition, or sentence, but public Case Lookup does not provide jail housing status or inmate service details.
Quay County lower-court paths matter after arrest. Magistrate Court handles misdemeanors, DWI/DUI, traffic, and felony preliminary hearings. Tucumcari Municipal Court handles city traffic, petty misdemeanors, ordinance cases, and municipal DWI/DUI matters. District Court handles felony, probation, and serious criminal cases. When an arrest leads to filed charges, the court case may become searchable separately from the jail record. Related charge details may also appear in Quay County arrest records and court charges.
Quay County Visitation Schedule
Quay County Detention publishes limited visitation and jail-service details. Lobby kiosk visitation is listed for weekdays, and online visitation runs through Inmate Canteen. The county did not publish a detailed visitor dress code, visitor ID rule, visit length, child visitor policy, approval process, cancellation rule, or remote-visit fee schedule in the inspected sources.
| Service | Official Schedule / Channel | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Detention office | Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-noon and 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | Excludes holidays. |
| Lobby visitation kiosk | Monday-Friday 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. | Visit length and ID rules not published by county. |
| Online visitation | Inmate Canteen 11:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. | Vendor portal is official-linked; fees not published by county. |
| Lobby money kiosk | Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. | For inmate books. |
| Quay County Detention Center, P.O. Box 1321, Tucumcari, NM 88401 | Use inmate first and last name. |
Note: Call detention before traveling for a visit because county sources did not publish a full visitor approval or cancellation policy.
Contact Quay County Inmates
Mail may be sent to inmates in care of the inmate's first and last name at Quay County Detention Center, P.O. Box 1321, Tucumcari, NM 88401. No official rejected-items list, postcard rule, legal mail rule, publication rule, photo rule, scan-and-destroy rule, or contraband-screening detail was located in the county sources. That means unusual mail should be cleared with detention before it is sent.
Phone service is also split across vendor references. The county lists Securus Technologies and a Securus phone number of 800-844-6591. The county also states prepaid calls are through NCIC Inmate Communications and says inmate calls are billed at a per-minute rate with no connection fees. The Securus Technologies portal and NCIC prepaid call account portal are both relevant to Quay County inmate contact planning.
The Securus portal is another successful manifest image source for Quay County inmate records.
The phone vendor source supports the inmate contact section, but the county detention office remains the source to verify which service applies to a specific person.
Quay County Commissary Funds
Money can be placed on an inmate's books in the lobby kiosk Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Online money and commissary services are through Inmate Canteen. The county did not publish a deposit fee, refund rule, cash limit, card rule, money-order rule, or commissary delivery schedule in the inspected sources.
The Inmate Canteen portal is the official-linked vendor for Quay County commissary and online visitation.
Inmate Canteen supports money and online visit services, but it did not provide an official public Quay County jail roster during the research review.
The NCIC Inmate Communications account portal is also relevant to Quay County inmate phone funding.
NCIC is useful for prepaid calls, while bond, release, warrant, and court dates must be confirmed with detention or the appropriate court.
State and Federal Inmate Records
State and federal inmate records should not be blended into a Quay County jail roster search. NMCD offender information for Adult Prison Division records is updated nightly, while probation and parole information is updated in real time. NMCD asks users to verify information because offenders move, and it lists separate contacts for general inquiries, family services, victims, inmate records, and probation or parole.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons is separate from Quay County, NMCD, and the New Mexico courts.
Federal custody questions go through federal sources, while Quay County detention questions stay with the local jail office in Tucumcari.
