Information You Provide
Search Terms
If you type a name, location, or other details into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Lea County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own inmate database.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact channel, we keep the information needed to read, route, and answer that message. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on each page.
- Referring website, if one sent you here.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic patterns, remember basic site behavior, support advertising, and measure which pages are useful. You can block cookies in your browser, although some site features or partner tools may behave differently after you do.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To pass search requests to the correct search partner when you choose to use one.
- To understand which Lea County jail, court, roster, and facility pages help visitors most.
- To diagnose technical problems, abuse, or security issues.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.
Links Away From This Site
Lea County Inmate Population links to official jail rosters, sheriff pages, New Mexico Corrections Department resources, New Mexico courts, federal locators, ICE resources, and private search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the other website control your use of that service.
Advertising and analytics partners may use their own systems to measure activity or show targeted ads across websites. Those practices occur on partner systems, not inside a Lea County government database.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal messages or personal contact details. Information may be available to limited service providers and legal recipients, including:
- Search partners that process a query you submit through their tool.
- Analytics providers used to measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that help support the site.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process requires disclosure.
New Mexico IPRA governs many official public-record requests made to government custodians, such as Lea County or New Mexico courts. It does not turn this private website into the official custodian of jail, court, or corrections records.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be promised to be perfectly secure. You should avoid sending sensitive legal, medical, financial, or personal details through ordinary website messages unless they are necessary.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal information to us, a parent or guardian may ask that it be reviewed for deletion.
Your Data Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Ask us to delete personal information when deletion is legally and technically available.
- Opt out of certain processing or cookie-based activity through browser controls or partner opt-out tools.
