This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that holds the source record.
County Jail and Release Records
For a VMDC custody or release question, ask whether the person left for the community or transferred to another authority. The facility record supplies the physical release or transfer event. The court record supplies the legal order.

No official public VMDC roster or recent-release feed was verified. Use the home release-record instructions for a focused IPRA request through the county’s current official records-custodian route.
Colfax Court Records
Courts supply the legal disposition, judgment, release conditions, and probation order. They do not necessarily record the exact time the jail opened the door.

State Custody and Supervision
Use the NMCD Offender Search for state prison and NMCD probation or parole records, not for a VMDC-only booking. Inmate Records lists (505) 690-9790, though NMCD warns that central offices do not provide release forecasts. The statewide Probation and Parole number is (866) 416-9867. Raton District Office 8A is at 1115 South Second Street, Raton, phone (575) 445-9081.
NMCD Victim Services lists (877) 842-8464, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time, for its designated audience. VINE’s operator line is (877) 551-8463. A VINE notice is not a certified release record.
