The Penitentiary of New Mexico (PNM) is located fifteen miles south of Santa Fe on Highway 14. The complex consists of three separate facilities. The facilities are now referred to as Level V for South, Level VI for North and Level II for the minimum restrict facility.

The recent implementation of the Level System within the New Mexico Corrections Department requires that inmates who cannot be managed in general population, or cannot function in general population due to criteria established by policy, will be separated from the general population. Management of such inmates will be based upon behaviorally based step programs, in which increased privileges are granted for inmates who demonstrate appropriate behavior for a specified period of time.
