Nevada Inmate Search

Whereas inmate records for juvenile offenders are confidential, details for adult offenders in Nevada jails and prisons are public records, accessible to family and friends. Here are three ways to access the information and locate someone in a Nevada correctional facility: - 

Nevada Statewide Inmate Search 

Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) is the agency in charge of the 24 state prisons in Nevada. The agency oversees active offenders, parolees, and probationers committed to the state prisons. And, since there are no federal prisons in Nevada, the state prisons also accommodate federal inmates. For this, NDOC maintains an up-to-date offender lookup, providing family and friends with the latest custody details for their loved ones. Then, to locate someone in a Nevada state prison, use the NDOC Offender Search as follows: - 

1. Go to https://ofdsearch.doc.nv.gov/ 
2. Opt to search by Offender ID or Demographics 
3. If searching by Offender ID, provide this number in the search box provided 
4. Likewise, if searching by demographics, type the offender’s first and last names in the search boxes provided 
5. Click ‘Submit’ to generate the following offender details: - 

• Identification & Demographics – Name, Offender ID, Gender, Ethnic, Age, Height, Weight, Build, Complexion, Hair, Eyes, Institution, Custody Level, Aliases, Prior Felonies 
• Booking Information – Offense Description, Sentence Status, Type, Min/Max, Period, County, Start Date 
• Parole Hearing Details – Offender Book ID, Parole Hearing Date, Parole Hearing Location 

Nevada Jail Roster Search 

At least 7,200 people are in Nevada jails each year. The detainees reside in city and county jails to await appearing in court for hearing and sentencing. Then, the sentenced detainees remain at the jails until they transfer to prison, settle their set bail, or serve time for sentences of up to 12 months. 

If you suspect that your friend or loved one is in a local city or county jail, call the jail administrator to confirm. Better still; go to the arresting law enforcement agency’s official website and scrutinize the online jail roster under the corrections section. A typical jail roster provides the offender’s demographics, arrest and booking details. Still, it may not include details for offenders undergoing the booking process.
