The Taos County NM Detention Center is a medium-security detention center located at 105 Albright St, Suite O Taos, NM which is operated locally by the Taos County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Taos County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Taos Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

The Taos County Adult Detention Center (TCADC) is an 88-bed facility housing both male and female detainees. Opened on June 26, 2011, the new modern facility can house more offenders on a long term basis, saving the taxpayer money by reducing or eliminating the need to transport detainees to facilities within and/or operated by other counties.

TCADC works in collaboration with CorrHealth, LLC to deliver on-site medical services to incarcerated individuals. TCADC also contracts with Summit Food Services to provide meals and commissary services to detainees housed at the facility. The TCADCis constantly looking at a variety of programs and services to offer detainees and the families of incarcerated individuals.
