The New Mexico Corrections Department’s (NMCD) statewide lockdown of all 11 prison facilities ended Monday and prison movement has returned to normal.

Visitation will resume as normal this weekend at all facilities. The lockdown was part of an annual event to shakedown every housing unit, cell and inmate in a search for contraband.

The search uncovered few weapons, illegal drugs and other contraband.
