This Memorial requests the New Mexico Association of Counties to assemble a group of interested parties, including representatives from the Association of Counties, the Corrections Department, and the Administrative Office of the Courts, to investigate the financial implications, advantages, and practicality of consolidating New Mexico's 27 individual county-run adult detention facilities into a single, unified state system. The task force is expected to examine issues such as the high costs associated with running multiple independent facilities, the inefficiencies in billing and dispute resolution between counties, the challenges in sharing medical and behavioral health information for detainees, and the varying quality of services offered across different county jails. The Memorial highlights that other states have successfully implemented unified jail and prison systems, suggesting that New Mexico could achieve cost savings and improved operations through a similar approach, and the task force is required to present its findings to the legislature by December 1, 2022.
