Clark County jail inmate search

Use the Clark County In-Custody Search to find someone held at the main detention center. Enter at least 2 letters of the person's last name, an inmate ID, or a Justice Court case number.

The system shows current custody status and updates periodically throughout the day. It never lists juveniles under 18. It also hides people in protective custody, which is separate housing for an inmate's safety.

Where an arrested person goes depends on where the offense happened. According to the Clark County inmate search page, police take most people to the Las Vegas City Jail or the main county detention center.

Anyone booked as a John or Jane Doe cannot post bail until fingerprints verify their identity. Since the online list refreshes periodically, call the jail to check on a recent intake.

Call (702) 671-3900 to reach the main jail information line listed on the Clark County detention center page. Two other numbers handle specific requests:

• Pre-Trial Services: Call 702-455-3462 for bail and release questions, according to the Pre-Trial Services page.
• Video visit support: Call 1-855-208-7349 for technical help with the ViaPath visitation site.

The main jail and booking building is the Clark County Detention Center at 330 S Casino Center Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada 89101. Find facility details on the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department detention center page.

Inmates also stay at the North Valley Complex, and visits there are booked through the main jail. Two separate city jails also operate nearby:

• North Las Vegas Detention and Corrections Facility
• Henderson Detention Center

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department runs the main detention center rather than a separate sheriff's office. Because of that, you use the county and police In-Custody Search to find detainees. You can also check the Nevada inmate search hub for other jails.

You must register before visiting an inmate. The detention center visitation page gives the rules for the ViaPath system, also known as GTL:

• Registration: To schedule visits, register at the main jail in person, or go online to clarkcountynv.gtlvisitme.com/app
• Ways to visit: schedule a free visit at the jail or a paid remote video visit that runs 25 minutes.
• Help line: Call 1-855-208-7349 for ViaPath technical support.

The Clark County inmate funds page lists three ways to add money to an inmate's account. Pay with a card through TouchPay online or by phone, use cash at the lobby kiosk, or mail a check or money order. Make mailed funds payable to "CCDC Inmate Trust Account," and never send personal checks.

Inmates spend funds at the commissary, which is the jail store. Call Aramark at (702) 380-3118 for commissary issues.

A separate phone vendor manages inmate call funds rather than the jail itself. According to the inmate funds page, you must contact that phone company directly for any account issues or refunds.

Names, mugshots, and arrest records are never shown by County Jail Lookup. Open the county's In-Custody Search to see what the facility publishes. The online tool shows current custody status for adults, leaving out juveniles under 18 and people in protective custody.

Bail is money or a guarantee given to the court so an inmate can leave jail before trial. The Pre-Trial Services Bail Bond Window inside the main jail stays open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Pay District Court bail at the Regional Justice Center instead.

Ways to post bail bonds include:

• At the window: pay with a cashier's check, a money order, or cash up to $10,000, plus a $50 filing fee
• More ways to pay: by phone, at the lobby kiosk, or with MoneyGram
• Bail agents: Pick a commercial surety bail agent, one regulated under NRS chapter 697

Release happens through bail, a pretrial release hearing, or release without bail. After leaving custody, a person can pick up leftover account money at the main jail. The inmate funds page notes that they must bring a valid photo ID. Call (702) 671-3900 for release updates.
