Eddy County Inmate Lookup

The Eddy County Sherriff’s office provides the public with access to an online database. This database is an inmate lookup that allows anyone to know the details of an inmate’s charge and booking date.  Searches can be done specifically for individuals “booked today.” The system also allows the user to see anyone who is “released today.” This search can be used to provide information on not only current detainees but also anyone who has previously been detained.

The report provided by the search tool includes the prisoner’s name, physical description, charges, and a copy of the mugshot.  It also gives a detailed description of the charges as well as the time and place the offense occurred.  It provides the date and time that an individual is booked into the facility and when they are released from it. In addition to the online search tool that is available, information about specific prisoners can be obtained by calling the prison office at 575-887-7556.

The search tool can also allow the detention center to post announcements about individuals or special circumstances occurring inside the complex and keep a record of any inmate with an active warrant.  Public transparency is a top priority of the jail’s warden and sheriff’s office.
