Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center officials say clerical errors and staff oversight led two inmates to be erroneously released from the jail on separate occasions last month.

In one instance, a probationary employee put the wrong case number into MDC's database, leading to the inmate's release, according to MDC. In the other instance, a staff member did not make sure the inmate was processed into pretrial services first.
