Inmate country store in Santa Fe to open Friday
The Old Gumby’s Country Store in Santa Fe has a lot to offer, not only to shoppers, but the products’ creators too.
SANTA FE, N.M. – The Old Gumby’s Country Store in Santa Fe has a lot to offer, not only to shoppers, but the products’ creators too.
“This could be the first opportunity for them to feel confident about something,” New Mexico Corrections Department’s Public Information Officer, Brittany Roembach.
That’s because all the people who handmade these things are serving time in New Mexico prisons.
“Welding, woodworking, we have a print shop, we have an embroidery shop,” said Ron Martinez, an administrative manger for Correction Industries.
The inmates have to apply for the program like a job. The proceeds from what they sell at the store goes back into the program and others like it.
The inmates even make an hourly wage.
“Varies on the jobs based on what they’re doing, it’s a dollar up to two dollars,” Martinez said.
But to be able to share their work with the community is priceless.
“They’re learning that skill, OK? They’re building products that are being sold and that builds a lot of self-worth for them,” said Martinez.
Not only does it build self-worth, but it helps them start fresh once they are released.
“One of the inmates who makes these he’s getting out soon and his family wants, he told me that his family is helping him to potentially start his own studio to sell rugs. So they can truly take it and turn it into a career,” said Roembach.
The store will open its doors Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is cash only, so make sure you hit the ATM before you head out. It’s going to be open once a month to give the inmates some time to replenish their stock.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife rereleased a wolf into Grand County this week after it had traveled into New Mexico, according to a news release.
The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish captured gray wolf 2403 and returned the animal to Colorado.
Colorado wildlife officials decided to release the wolf in Grand County yesterday because of the proximity to “an unpaired female gray wolf,” nearby prey populations and distance from livestock, according to the release.
“Gray wolf 2403 has been returned to Colorado and released in a location where it can best contribute to CPW’s efforts to establish a self-sustaining wolf population while concurrently attempting to minimize potential wolf-related livestock conflicts,” said acting director of CPW Laura Clellan, according to the release.
The wolf was once a member of the Copper Creek pack but departed from it this fall.
A memorandum of understanding between Colorado and Arizona, New Mexico and Utah requires that any gray wolves that leave Colorado and enter those states be returned. That was created in part to maintain the integrity of a Mexican wolf recovery program.
“We recognized during the planning process that we would need to have consideration and plans to protect the genetic integrity of the Mexican wolf recovery program, while also establishing a gray wolf population in Colorado,” said CPW’s Wolf Conservation Program Manager Eric Odell, according to the release.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A judge sentenced a New Mexico man to nearly 20 years in prison for distributing meth and having guns in his possession to use while doing so.
Court records indicate 43-year-old David Amaya sold meth from a trailer on his parents’ property in Anthony throughout July and August 2024. Agents executed a search warrant Aug. 22 and found 1.18 kilograms of meth, two firearms and ammunition in the trailer and a makeshift bathroom.
Amaya pleaded guilty to possession of meth with intent to distribute it. A judge sentenced him to 235 months in prison.
Once he is out, Amaya will face five years of supervised release.
The FBI’s Albuquerque Field Office and the Las Cruces Metro Narcotics Task Force investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Williams prosecuted it.
