Women prisoners in New Mexico suffer under inhumane conditions

44 3 minutes read For several years, the abusive treatment of women prisoners in New Mexico has been almost completely ignored. Though well aware of significant problems, both Department of Corrections officials and the local press have long ignored the situation. It was only when a series of high-profile lawsuits were recently filed that the conditions and treatment of prisoners in the state re-entered headlines. The New Mexico prison system operates two medium-level prisons for women inmates. One is located near Grants, an hour west of Albuquerque, and the other is located in Springer, in the rural northeast of the state. The facility in Springer provides the clearest example of this oppressive system.

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.

Inhumane conditions and potential sexual assault at NM women s prisons

5 hours ago Many incarcerated women, often already traumatized from gender violence, potentially face re-traumatization once imprisoned in New Mexico through inhumane conditions and sexual assault, according to attorneys. Lalita Moskowitz, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, said the inhumane conditions run the gamut in New Mexico prisons from infestations of rodents and freezing conditions at Western New Mexico Correctional Facility outside of Grants to infrastructure that is “completely falling apart” and inadequate reproductive health care at Springer Correctional Center in the small northern town of Springer. She said the two New Mexico women’s correctional facilities are “some of the oldest (correctional) buildings in the state.”

Inmates awaiting expedited pandemic hearing

Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal SANTA FE – Despite approving an expedited briefing schedule, the New Mexico Supreme Court has yet to schedule oral arguments in a case alleging inmates faced cruel and unusual confinement conditions during the pandemic. That has attorneys for the inmate plaintiffs concerned. The time-sensitive case – spearheaded by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, the New Mexico Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and others on behalf of incarcerated people statewide – was expedited to the Supreme Court by the New Mexico Court of Appeals in November, just as the pandemic was peaking in New Mexico. ...................... Lalita Moskowitz, staff attorney with the ACLU, said plaintiff attorneys were expecting the arguments to be scheduled shortly after the last briefing in the case in February.
