Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint District Adult Facility Custody Lookup

Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint District Adult Facility Overview

The Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint District Adult Facility is operated by the Navajo Nation Department of Corrections, not McKinley County and not the New Mexico Corrections Department. The official Crownpoint District page identifies an Adult and Juvenile Facility north of Crownpoint on Highway 371 and provides adult phone contacts, a mailing address, visitation days, and related Navajo court, prosecutor, and public defender numbers.

This jurisdiction distinction is the most important fact on the page. A person held at Crownpoint is in a Navajo Nation corrections pathway unless another agency has taken custody. Calling the McKinley County Adult Detention Center will not replace the Crownpoint adult facility phone route. Searching NMCD will not locate someone who remains in local tribal custody. Likewise, BOP and ICE locators serve federal and immigration systems, not Crownpoint's day-to-day adult facility intake.

Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint District Adult Facility Capacity and Population

The official Crownpoint District page did not publish adult rated capacity. It did publish details for the co-located juvenile facility, including a 14-bed juvenile capacity, an 8,943-square-foot juvenile building, service to the Eastern Navajo Agency, and physical features such as a sally port, intake and holding unit, two main housing pods, laundry, outdoor recreation yard, counseling room, and library. Juvenile capacity should not be restated as adult capacity.

Facility operations staffing is listed as two corrections sergeants, ten corrections officers, and one cook operating around the clock. The Prisoners of the Census New Mexico correctional-population list included a Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint entry with 10 Indian Country correctional population, with the source date shown as June 30, 2016. That older outside population figure is useful historical context, but it is not a current daily count.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint District Adult Facility

No public online roster was located on the Crownpoint District page. The correct first step for an adult custody question is the Crownpoint adult facility phone number, not the McKinley County jail line and not NMCD Offender Search. Use the county jail only if the person was booked into McKinley County Adult Detention Center or transferred there. Use NMCD only after a New Mexico state-prison sentence or supervision record exists.

1. Call the Crownpoint adult facility at 505-786-2060 or 505-786-2062 for tribal custody status.
2. Ask whether the person is held in the adult facility, was released, or was transferred to another agency.
3. If the matter is a Navajo court case, use the Crownpoint District Court, prosecutor, or public defender contacts listed by the district page.
4. If custody moved outside Navajo Nation corrections, use the correct destination system: McKinley County jail, NMCD Offender Search, New Mexico VINE, BOP, or ICE ODLS.

This page should not be read as a county jail roster substitute. Crownpoint is physically in McKinley County, but custody authority and court routing can be Navajo Nation based. If the arrest happened in a Navajo Nation or Crownpoint context, ask Crownpoint first. If the arrest happened in Gallup municipal or McKinley County jurisdiction, start with the county jail and local court records instead.

Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint District Adult Facility Address and Contact

The district page gives the facility location as 2925 Highway 371, five miles north of Crownpoint, and the mailing address as P.O. Box 298, Crownpoint, NM 87313. Adult phone contacts are 505-786-2060 and 505-786-2062. A fax number of 505-786-2109 appears on the district page, while the department contact page also lists Crownpoint District Adult contact information.

Visiting Someone at Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint District Adult Facility

The published Crownpoint visitation schedule is Wednesday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The research did not locate a full visitor handbook, remote video visitation vendor, dress code, identification rule, child visitor rule, locker policy, visit length, or former-inmate restriction for this facility. Because the facility is a tribal corrections site and not the county jail, do not assume McKinley County's weekday male and female schedule applies.

Call the adult facility before traveling. Ask whether the person is eligible for a visit, whether a photo ID is required, whether visitation changes during lockdowns or holidays, whether there are limits on the number of visitors, and whether any housing, court, medical, or disciplinary status changes affect the visit.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint District Adult Facility

The district page publishes inmate mail through P.O. Box 298, Crownpoint, NM 87313. It does not publish a detailed mail-restriction list, commissary vendor, online money-deposit provider, phone vendor, video-visitation provider, account setup instructions, or deposit fee table in the research materials used for this page. For that reason, the safest instruction is to call Crownpoint before sending money, packages, photos, books, or any item beyond ordinary correspondence.

Do not apply McKinley County JailATM, PayTel, or Boardman Drive mail rules to Crownpoint unless staff specifically confirm that a transferred person is now held by McKinley County. Jail vendors and mail rules are facility-specific. A money order or account deposit sent to the wrong custody system may not reach the person and may not be recoverable quickly.

Booking and Intake at Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint District Adult Facility

Crownpoint intake should be understood as a tribal corrections process. The official page identifies a direct-supervision facility with adult and juvenile functions and describes juvenile-facility features including a sally port and intake or holding unit. Adult intake procedures, booking-photo publication, housing classifications, medical screening steps, and release-processing details were not published in the located district page.

When calling, ask whether the person is still in intake, whether the booking is adult or juvenile, whether a Navajo court date is pending, and whether any transfer to county, state, federal, or immigration custody is expected. If a person has moved from Crownpoint to MCADC, the county jail phone route becomes relevant. If a person has moved after sentencing to the New Mexico Corrections Department, use NMCD. If a federal criminal or immigration authority took custody, use BOP, federal court context, or ICE ODLS as appropriate.

Crownpoint Court, Prosecutor, and Public Defender Contacts

The Crownpoint District page is unusually useful because it places criminal-justice contacts near the facility information. For Navajo Nation matters, custody status and court case status may require more than one call. The published contacts include Crownpoint Prosecutor at 505-786-2100, Tohajiilee and Alamo Prosecutor at 505-908-2331, Crownpoint District Court at 505-786-2072, Tohajiilee Circuit Court at 505-908-2817, Alamo Court at 575-854-2668, and Crownpoint Public Defender at 505-786-2214.

Those numbers are not substitutes for the adult facility custody line. Use the facility for current custody, visiting, mail, and immediate detention questions. Use the court or prosecutor contacts for case scheduling, charging, and legal process questions. Use the public defender contact when defense representation or appointment questions are involved. For non-tribal McKinley County cases, use New Mexico Courts, the McKinley County Magistrate or District Court, and the county jail instead.

About Navajo Department of Corrections Crownpoint District Adult Facility

The official page states that the Crownpoint District facility was built in 2011 and received a permanent certificate of occupation in May 2013. It serves an area where county, state, federal, and tribal systems can overlap, so families should keep agency authority clear. A Crownpoint custody question is different from a McKinley County Adult Detention Center roster question, and a Navajo court contact is different from a New Mexico state court clerk.

The facility's published physical detail focuses heavily on the juvenile side, including the 14-bed juvenile facility and support areas. Adult capacity, adult population dashboard, adult commissary procedure, phone vendor, visitor handbook, and complete mail rules were not published in the located page. Those gaps should be treated as reasons to call the facility, not as permission to import rules from the county jail or NMCD.
