The Chaves County Detention Center accepts inmates from other law enforcement agencies on a local, state, and even federal level. The facility frequently takes inmates from the Roswell Police Department since they do not have their own personal long-term lockup. The facility operates 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Majority of the inmates in the Chaves County Detention Center are inmates currently waiting for their trial to start, going through their trial, or inmates waiting to be sentenced. There are a handful of inmates in the facility that are serving out their sentence. Inmates who are serving out their sentence will have a sentence of two years or less. If an inmate is sentenced to a sentence for more than two years, they will be transferred to state prison.

An inmate in the Chaves County Detention Center will have the opportunity to become a trusted inmate. A trusted inmate will be offered a position inside the facility. This position can be laundry personnel, a kitchen worker, or an orderly. This position will come with a small salary where an inmate can purchase items from the canteen and the inmate may also have a few days shaved off of their sentence as well.
