Choose the Right Route
The custody system determines which office can answer the question.
- Use the Otero released-inmate search and records page for the complete county release path.
- Use Parole / Probation to verify post-release state supervision.
- Use Released Last 24 Hours for the same-day feed finding and IPRA fallback.
- Use Inmate Release Date or VINELink Release Check for a projected date or alert.
- Use the facility pages in the footer for OCDC, the state prison, or the ICE processing center.
- Use the NMCD offender search for a sentenced state prisoner, not an OCDC-only booking.
- Use the BOP Inmate Locator for federal prison and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.
