The Taos Co Jail is a detention center located at 105 Albright St, Suite O Taos, NM which is operated locally by the Taos County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Taos County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Taos Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for New Mexico here.

The Taos County Adult Detention Center (TCADC) is an 88-bed facility housing both male and female detainees. Opened on June 26, 2011, the new modern facility can house more offenders on a long term basis, saving the taxpayer money by reducing or eliminating the need to transport detainees to facilities within and/or operated by other counties.

TCADC works in collaboration with CorrHealth, LLC to deliver on-site medical services to incarcerated individuals. TCADC also contracts with Summit Food Services to provide meals and commissary services to detainees housed at the facility. The TCADCis constantly looking at a variety of programs and services to offer detainees and the families of incarcerated individuals.
