Pandemic decreased prison population in NM

Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal Prison populations have dramatically decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nationwide, there was a push to lower population levels in these congregate living settings, and now as the pandemic comes to an end, it’s unclear whether these numbers will rise again. The pandemic caused a historic low for inmate populations in the past 20 years for New Mexico, said Eric Harrison, New Mexico Department of Corrections spokesman. ...................... Currently, the department is at a 74% occupancy rate, Harrison said. This means there are 5,662 inmates incarcerated with the department at this time. An executive order required the Corrections Department to lower the prison populations, which included early release for some inmates. As of Friday, 532 inmates were released under this order since April 2020, Harrison said.

Santa Fe sheriff examining use-of-force policy

Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal While the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office asked for public comment on revisions to its use-of-force policies, some members of the public found it difficult to give their input because they couldn’t access the existing policies online. Several members of the public who submitted comments said they couldn’t find the existing policy on the sheriff’s website and, when they asked for more clarification on the policies, they didn’t receive an answer. Juan Rios, the Sheriff’s Office media coordinator, said the sheriff’s office is in the process of reviewing the public comments they did receive and letting staff members share their thoughts on the current policy. Rios said new legislation regarding law enforcement – such as the New Mexico Civil Rights Act that passed during this year’s legislative session – will also be taken into account when creating the new policy.
