Grant County Jail Roster
The official local custody source is the Grant County Corrections page, which links to the county's Prisoner in Custody list. The roster itself is an OMS/JailTracker public app at Grant County Prisoner in Custody. It is the county route for current jail custody, not a state prison list and not a national background check.
Grant County uses PIC language, short for prisoner in custody, instead of only saying inmate roster. That matters because search results for "Grant County jail roster" often show wrong-state pages. The New Mexico roster should connect back to grantcountynm.gov and the Silver City detention center. The public app is client-side, so a blank or loading screen can be a browser problem rather than proof that no record exists.
Use the roster first for a person believed to be held at the Grant County Detention Center. If the record is missing, the access chain moves to the jail phone, an in-person inquiry, a public-records request, New Mexico court records, NMCD, BOP, ICE, and VINELink. No official Grant County Sheriff's Office or Silver City Police mobile app with an inmate lookup was found, so there is no app-only roster to check.
The county Corrections page is the best visual checkpoint for the official PIC link and jail contact block.
That county page ties the public roster to the Grant County Detention Center rather than to a third-party or wrong-state jail site.
Use the Grant County Roster
A Grant County inmate lookup works best when the search starts with the person's legal name and then narrows from there. The JailTracker app strings show name search, offender detail, charge fields, image support, release-window options, and VINE link handling. The full live record may differ by current county configuration, so use visible fields as public clues and verify urgent facts with the jail.
- Open the official county Corrections page and use the Prisoner in Custody link so the search stays in Grant County, New Mexico.
- Let the JailTracker page load in a current browser. If it stalls, try again without strict blockers because the roster is a client-side app.
- Search by last name first. Add first name when the surname is common or when several records appear.
- Use any search-type or released-in-last option if the person may have bonded, been released, or transferred.
- Open the offender detail when available and compare name, booking number, agency, charges, bond fields, case numbers, and any VINE option.
- If no match appears, call the jail at 575-534-3803 or use the other custody systems before deciding the person is not in custody.
Note: A new arrest may take time to appear online, especially while intake, identity checks, medical screening, and court paperwork are still moving.
Grant County Roster Fields
The public HTML for the Grant County JailTracker app did not expose a full live sample, but the app strings show the search controls the roster can support. These controls should be treated as roster features, not as a promise that each field appears in every session. If the current roster asks for a captcha or a new code, complete that step before searching.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type of Search | Dropdown or select | Unspecified | The app strings show a search-type control, but static HTML did not expose the current choices. |
| Last Name | Text | Likely needed for name search | Start here, then add first name to narrow the result set. |
| First Name | Text | Likely optional or paired | Useful for common last names and alternate spellings. |
| Released in Last | Numeric or date-window control | Optional | May help when a person was recently released or transferred. |
| Get New Code / Captcha | Captcha control | When displayed | The app includes captcha controls that may appear by session or setting. |
| Search | Button | Not applicable | Submits the current roster query. |
Grant County Inmate Profiles
A Grant County jail record is a custody and booking record. It can show why the jail is holding someone, which agency is tied to the arrest, and how the custody record connects to court or warrant numbers. It is not the same as a final court record. A charge on the roster can later be amended, dismissed, or replaced by a formal complaint, information, or indictment.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name / First / Middle / Last | Public identification fields for the person booked into custody. |
| Booking Number | Jail booking identifier if Grant County enables it in the grid or detail view. |
| Offender Image | Booking image or larger image support if the record and roster setting display it. |
| Arresting Agency | The agency tied to the booking or charge entry, such as a local police or sheriff agency. |
| Charges / Charge Description | Booking or arrest charges, which may differ from later prosecutor-filed court charges. |
| Case, Control, or Warrant Number | Cross-reference numbers that can help locate the court file or warrant record. |
| Bond Type / Bond Amount | Bond information if public and enabled, subject to holds and court orders. |
| Court Date / Arrest Date / Offense Date | Dates connected to arrest, charge, or hearing fields if enabled. |
| Charge Status | Status text for a charge when the roster publishes it. |
| VINE Link | Possible link or reference for custody notification if configured. |
For court outcomes after booking, use the state court systems rather than relying only on the jail entry. Custody and booking details fit the Grant County jail mugshots and booking photos topic, while formal charges and dispositions belong in the court record.
Grant County Jail Contact
The main local facility is the Grant County Detention Center in Silver City. The county directory lists the public jail phone and Detention Administrator Joseph Andazola. Use the jail phone for current custody questions, visit schedule checks, and urgent routing when the online roster is unclear. Bring a government photo ID for in-person questions or visits.

Grant County Records Requests
When the roster does not show the needed booking record, use the Grant County NextRequest form. New Mexico's Inspection of Public Records Act supports inspection of public records unless a specific exception applies. A written request is stronger than a casual phone question because it creates a formal request path under IPRA procedure.
For a jail record request, include the full name, date of birth if known, booking date or date range, arresting agency, case number, offense type, and the exact record sought. The form metadata exposes delivery options such as email, web, mail, fax, in person, phone, and import, plus optional sheriff or crime fields. Protected identifiers, sealed material, juvenile records, medical information, and law-enforcement exemptions can still limit release.
The NextRequest form is the documented county route for written public-records requests.
Use that form when a released booking, older jail record, or non-displayed booking document is needed from Grant County.
Grant County Visit Records
Visitation details often confirm whether a person is still in Grant County custody because the schedule is tied to housing status. The Grant County visitation page states that each inmate receives one 30-minute visit per week. Visitors must have a current picture ID showing full name and date of birth, and visitors must be at least eighteen.
| Visit Group | Schedule | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| General weekly visit | Schedule created for each new inmate on Friday | One 30-minute visit per week | The inmate may call visitors with the time, and visitors may call the facility to check. |
| Male Unit | Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. | One weekly allotment | Picture ID required. Emergency jail conditions may cancel or shorten visits. |
| Female, Booking, Infirmary | Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. | One weekly allotment | No-contact orders or restraining-order conflicts block visits. |
The official visitation page also shows the local housing labels used for public scheduling.
Those unit labels can help explain why a newly booked person may have a different visit day than a general-population inmate.
Grant County Custody Channels
Grant County jail records cover local custody. The NMCD offender-search information page says NMCD does not have jurisdiction over county or city detention facilities. NMCD is the right system after a person is sentenced to state prison, placed on probation or parole, or transferred into the state corrections system. Adult Prison Division data is updated nightly, probation and parole data is updated in real time, and NMCD says to allow 24 hours for APD information to become available.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | Grant County PIC / JailTracker roster | New arrests, pretrial custody, local sentences, warrants, and temporary holds. |
| Sentenced state custody | NMCD Offender Search | State prison, probation, parole, inactive offenders, and absconders. |
| Sentenced federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates in BOP custody or released since 1982. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | People currently in ICE custody or in CBP custody more than 48 hours. |
| Custody alerts | VINELink | Notification route where the person or agency is available. |
The NMCD search form is separate from the Grant County roster.
Use NMCD only after the custody question has moved beyond the Grant County Detention Center into New Mexico state corrections.
Grant County Booking Records
A typical Grant County jail record begins when a law-enforcement agency arrests someone, serves a warrant, or transports a person on a court order. Agencies may include the Grant County Sheriff's Office, Silver City Police, other municipal agencies, New Mexico State Police, or a court officer. If the arrest requires jail custody, the person is transported to the Grant County Detention Center for intake.
Booking usually includes identity checks, paperwork review, property inventory, a booking record, photograph and fingerprints, medical or mental-health screening, classification, and housing. The county does not publish a full booking manual, but its Corrections mission statement references secure detention, health care, programs, and community partnerships. The visitation schedule also identifies Male Unit, Female, Booking, and Infirmary groups, which shows that intake and medical categories affect public scheduling.
- Booking
- The jail intake event that creates the custody record after arrest or warrant service.
- Detainer
- A hold or notice from another agency that may block release or trigger transfer.
- PR release
- Release based on a promise and conditions rather than full cash bail.
- Case number
- The court identifier, which may not match the jail booking number.
Note: A listed bond amount does not always mean release is available, because warrants, detainers, no-contact orders, or court holds can control custody.
Grant County Jail Mail
The jail's mail page is useful for inmate records because it shows how Grant County identifies people and routes correspondence. Legal material through USPS is accepted. General incoming mail has no weekend or holiday delivery, is distributed within 24 hours after receipt, and may be opened, inspected for money or contraband, and scanned. Inmates may receive unlimited mail, but they may keep only twelve pieces in the cell or bunk.
Grant County did not publish a commissary vendor, phone vendor, kiosk fee table, online deposit URL, tablet program, remote video-visit vendor, or phone-call price in the researched public pages. The documented money rule is mail-based: U.S. funds and authorized money orders are receipted and deposited to the inmate Trust Fund Account, while checks, non-authorized money orders, and foreign currency are receipted and stored in property. Call 575-534-3803 before sending funds.
Note: Confirm custody with the jail before sending mail, money, or visit requests, especially after release, transfer, or sentencing.
