Information regarding the approval of release plans, and the date of inmate's releases on parole can be obtained from the pre-release unit of the Division of Parole and Probation along with their contact information. These Interstate Correctional Compact transfers are reserved for inmates who have significant behavioral problems, or a substantial, documented need for protection. The Department of Corrections also does not engage in the transfer of inmates to other states for the purposes of family reunification. This agency must naturally give priority to the needs of the community for security, and the location of beds in order to prevent overcrowding, and maintain a constitutionally acceptable environment for all inmates throughout the State. The Department of Corrections has limited housing, and transportation resources. Persons intending to request consideration for the transfer of an inmate should be aware that the Department of Corrections does not engage in transfers for the purpose of inmate convenience, or family reunification. No information will be provided regarding when approved transfers will be executed. In Northern Nevada, check with the Washoe County Detention Facility. In the Las Vegas area, check with the Clark County Detention Center. If you have heard that someone has been arrested and you are trying to locate them or find out more information, you will need to contact the county or city in which they were arrested. The Department does not have current information on parolees, individuals sentenced to probation, or those who have only been arrested and are awaiting trial or sentencing (and have not yet been sentenced to a prison term). The Department of Corrections generally only has custody of, and information on, offenders who have received a sentence of incarceration in a Nevada State Prison, and are currently serving that sentence. These are the individuals who best know the inmate, and their status. If the location of the inmate is known, and specific information is requested regarding the inmate's status within an institution, or classification, it is best to contact the Associate Warden, or the Caseworker III at the individual institution. If the location of the inmate is not known, or it is not known whether or not a person is incarcerated, you may contact the Department's Family and Community Services staff. Individuals who are seeking more specific information about an inmate's location, status, and classification, can call the individual institution where the inmate is located, using the phone numbers and addresses indicated on this site Contact Info. Most publicly available information about inmates can be viewed via this site's Inmate Search.
