The Camino Nuevo Correctional Center is a women's low-security pre-release prison for incarcerated New Mexico female felons. It is located on the grounds of the New Mexico Youth Diagnostic and Development Center, which houses the most violent youth incarcerated in the New Mexico Corrections Department, which is administered by the New Mexico Children Youth and Families Department. Camino Nuevo is administered by Corrections Corporation of America for the State of New Mexico Corrections Department. The Camino Nuevo Correctional Center opened in July 2006. The prison provides a gender responsive environment with a continuum of programs and services, which are designed to expand the economic and social roles of women. An emphasis is placed on education, career counseling, traditional and non-traditional vocational training, life skills--including parenting and pre-release, as well as addressing the unique medical and mental health needs of women.
