Dona Ana County Detention Center Inmate Communication Overview
The Dona Ana County Detention Center in Las Cruces is the primary jail for Dona Ana County, housing pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates. It also operates a separate juvenile detention program with its own visitation schedule.
Video visitation and text messaging run through GettingOut. Families schedule visits at gettingout.com or through the GettingOut app, with daily video visitation blocks posted by the facility. Text messaging is also available through the GettingOut platform. For phone calls, detainees place outbound calls by collect, prepaid, or debit, and families typically set up a funded account through ConnectNetwork.
GettingOut tablets are also deployed in the facility for video calls, messaging, entertainment, and education. Because the facility posts specific daily video visitation blocks, families should check the current schedule when booking rather than assuming the hours from another source.
