Incarcerated Persons Help
Throughout New Mexico, there are over 15,000 men and women in jail or prison. Overcrowded and financially strained correctional facilities cause many prisoners to routinely suffer abuse and inadequate care. ACLU-NM works to fight unconstitutional conditions and the “lock ‘em up” mentality that prevails in the legislature.
The New Mexico Corrections Department (NMCD) is one of the largest State Departments in New Mexico, and is fully committed to public safety. NMCD has 8 different divisions, the largest being the Adult Prisons Division (APD) which covers 11 prison facilities throughout New Mexico, and houses over 6,800 inmates. APD is committed to holding inmates accountable for their actions, along with integrating programs for rehabilitation and reformation through various services, which reduce the risk of recidivism.
