The Curry County jail roster is a public resource that lists individuals currently held at the Curry County Detention Center in Clovis, New Mexico. CurryCourt.us can help you find publicly available information about current and recent inmates, including booking details and charges. You can also access jail roster information through the Curry County Sheriff's Office website, by calling the detention center directly, or by visiting in person. A jail roster search allows the public to verify whether someone is in custody, review the charges against them, and confirm basic booking information. The Curry County Sheriff's Office maintains the roster, which is updated regularly and hosted through the county's detention facility systems.
Search Current Inmates in Curry Jail
There are several ways to look up someone currently held at the Curry County Detention Center.
Online Search
- Visit CurryCourt.us to search publicly available court and inmate information related to Curry County.
- You can also check the Curry County Sheriff's Office website for a current roster or inmate list. If the roster is published as a browsable list rather than a search-field tool, use your browser's find function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to locate a name quickly.
- For related court case information, use the New Mexico Courts Case Lookup tool or the New Mexico Courts Public Access portal, which includes records from the Curry County Magistrate Court in Clovis.
What You Need to Search
- The inmate's full legal name (first and last name at minimum)
- A booking number, if known
- Date of birth can help narrow results when multiple people share the same name
By Phone
Call the Curry County Detention Center to ask whether a specific person is currently in custody. Be prepared to provide the individual's full name and date of birth.
In Person
You can visit the detention center lobby during business hours to request inmate information at the public information window.
Curry County Detention Center
Juvenile offenders are not listed on the public jail roster. Records involving minors are confidential under New Mexico law.
Find Curry Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created each time an individual is processed into the Curry County Detention Center. During intake, jail staff record identifying information and the circumstances of the arrest. A typical booking record includes:
- Full legal name and any known aliases
- Booking number
- Date and time of booking
- Charges at the time of arrest
- Arresting agency (Curry County Sheriff's Office, Clovis Police Department, New Mexico State Police, or another agency)
- Bond amount, if set
- Mugshot (when published by the facility)
To access booking records online, start with the jail roster on the Curry County Sheriff's Office website or search through CurryCourt.us. If the record you need is not available online, you can submit a public records request. Under New Mexico's Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA), most booking records held by county detention facilities are considered public. You can file an Inspect Public Records Request with the appropriate custodian of records.
If an individual has been transferred to state custody after sentencing, the New Mexico Corrections Department Offender Search tool covers state prison inmates — but it does not include county or city detention facility records.
Search the Curry Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The Curry County jail roster generally supports two ways to find an inmate:
Search by Last Name
- Enter the inmate's last name in the search or filter field, or scroll through the alphabetical list.
- If a first name field is available, add it to narrow results — especially for common surnames.
- Use exact spelling. If you are unsure of the spelling, try known variations or a partial last name if the system supports it.
Search by Booking Number
- If you have a booking number from a prior inquiry or court document, enter it directly.
- A booking number returns a single, specific record and is the fastest way to locate someone.
Tips for Better Results
- Use the inmate's legal name, not a nickname or alias.
- Double-check spelling — a single wrong letter can cause the search to return no results.
- If the roster displays as a full list with no search field, use your browser's built-in find function (Ctrl+F on Windows, Cmd+F on Mac) and type the last name.
If the Search Returns No Results
- The person may have already been released, transferred, or bonded out.
- There may be a delay between the actual booking and the roster update.
- The person may be held under a different name or a legal alias.
- Call the detention center at (575) 763-0459 to verify custody status directly.
- If the individual may have been charged but not yet booked, check the Curry County District Court Docket for upcoming hearings.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Curry
The Curry County jail roster is updated on a regular basis, but it is not necessarily a real-time feed. Updates typically occur periodically throughout the day as new bookings are processed and releases are completed. Because of this, there can be a gap between when someone is booked or released and when that change appears on the public roster.
Known Limitations
| Limitation | What It Means for Users |
|---|---|
| Booking-to-roster delay | A newly arrested person may not appear on the roster for several hours after intake. |
| Post-release removal | Once an inmate is released, their record is typically removed from the active roster. It is not an archive. |
| Data entry lag | Charge details or bond amounts may be updated after the initial booking entry is posted. |
| Transfer to state custody | Inmates sentenced to state prison are transferred to the New Mexico Corrections Department and removed from the county roster. |
| Name discrepancies | Inmates may be booked under a legal name that differs from a commonly known name or alias. |
The roster reflects current custody status only. It is not a historical database of all past bookings in Curry County. If you need older booking records or records for someone no longer in custody, contact the Curry County Detention Center directly or submit a records request through the Ninth Judicial District Court public records page for court-related documents. The Law Enforcement Records Bureau at the New Mexico Department of Public Safety maintains statewide criminal history records and may be an additional resource for background information beyond what the county roster provides.
