The Nevada Department of Corrections, NDOC, runs the NDOC Inmate Search, which takes an offender ID or a first and last name with a percent sign as a wildcard, shows photos in a supported browser, and offers the whole file for download as demographic, alias, booking, parole and release tables. Its notice says the information is raw data, that the department makes no warranty it is error free, and that it is not to be used as an official record; questions about an inmate go to Family Services at (775) 977-5707. The department's Offender Info page adds that most public information is in the search, that an inmate's location, status and classification come from the institution, best from its Associate Warden or Caseworker III, and that someone who does not know whether a person is in prison at all can ask the Family and Community Services staff.
The department holds only people who received a Nevada prison sentence and are serving it. It has no current information on parolees, people on probation, or anyone arrested and awaiting trial or sentencing, and it sends those searches to the county or city of arrest: in the Las Vegas area the Clark County Detention Center, in northern Nevada the Washoe County Detention Facility, with the rest of the jails on the Nevada county pages. The Clark County search takes at least two letters of the last name, an inmate ID or a Justice Court case number, shows nobody under 18 or in protective custody, is updated through the day, gives nothing out by email, and answers at (702) 671-3900; a John or Jane Doe cannot post bail until fingerprints identify them, and the charges shown may change with plea bargains, hearings and trials. People arrested by Metro go to the Las Vegas City Jail or the county center depending on where the crime occurred, and North Las Vegas and Henderson run their own detention centers with their own searches.

The facilities and their caller ID numbers
The facilities page lists six correctional facilities, Ely State Prison, Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center, High Desert State Prison, Lovelock Correctional Center, Northern Nevada Correctional Center and Southern Desert Correctional Center, two transitional housing sites, Casa Grande in the south and Northern Nevada Transitional Housing, and the conservation camps at Carlin, Humboldt, Jean, Pioche, Stewart and Three Lakes Valley; it marks Nevada State Prison, Southern Nevada Correctional Center, Ely Conservation Camp and Silver Springs Conservation Camp closed and the Tonopah, Warm Springs and Wells camps shuttered.
Each facility publishes a visitation email, CCCvisitation@doc.nv.gov for Carlin, ESPvisitation@doc.nv.gov for Ely State Prison, FMWCCvisitation@doc.nv.gov, HDSPvisitation@doc.nv.gov, LCCvisitation@doc.nv.gov, NNCCvisitation@doc.nv.gov, SDCCvisitation@doc.nv.gov, CGTHvisitation@doc.nv.gov and NNTHvisitation@doc.nv.gov, with the same pattern for the Jean, Pioche, Stewart and Three Lakes Valley camps. The phone page gives the caller ID number an inmate's call will show from each facility: 702-602-0880 from Jean, 702-637-9111 from Casa Grande, 775-501-6500 from Northern Nevada Transitional Housing, 775-977-1272 from Warm Springs, 775-977-0797 from Northern Nevada Correctional Center, 775-977-1232 from Stewart, 702-551-3123 from Florence McClure, 702-899-4561 from High Desert, 702-899-0905 from Southern Desert, 702-899-3202 from Three Lakes Valley, 775-979-8494 from Lovelock, 775-296-5141 from Ely State Prison, 775-299-4444 from Carlin, 775-296-8679 from Pioche and 775-299-4307 from Wells.
Calls and tablets: ViaPath at ten cents a minute
The department contracts with ViaPath Technologies for calls and billing. A family funds a prepaid AdvancePay account through ConnectNetwork, by the automated line at 1-800-483-8314 or a representative at 1-877-650-4249, or accepts traditional collect calls billed on the home phone bill where the local carrier allows it, subject to a 90 day rolling spending limit and a monthly fee the carrier sets; an offender debit account bought through the commissary was marked under development, and direct bill accounts are for attorneys and bail bondsmen only.
Since October 14, 2025 every call type, local, intrastate or interstate, prepaid, debit or collect, costs $0.10 a minute with no surcharge, international calls $0.10 plus the carrier's cost, all before taxes. Facilities may limit call length, hours, the number of calls or monthly minutes, monitor and record calls, require voice validation, block 800 numbers or chosen numbers, and suspend phones for discipline, gang ties or a called party's request.
Tablets run on GettingOut for contacts, messaging and video visiting, with ConnectNetwork for AdvancePay and trust deposits; the automated trust deposit line is (888) 428-1845, the AdvancePay line (800) 483-8314, GettingOut support (866) 516-0115 and ConnectNetwork support (877) 650-4249. An attorney who wants unrecorded video visits or calls opens a GettingOut account and emails ViapathNVTechs@viapath.com with a name, address, the numbers and a bar number; there is no exception for private messaging and no direct email service for inmates.
Mail, messages and packages
Written messages reach an inmate two ways. The incoming messages page says that since July 6, 2017 the department's SecureMail program runs through Corrlinks.com: the sender opens a free account, pays a small fee, $0.30 a message on the rates page, and the message is printed in the facility mail room and handed out at regular mail call; it is one way only, and the inmate cannot answer by email. Postal mail follows the mail regulation the pages cite rather than describe, and the mailing items page adds the limits on goods: books and calendars may be mailed within the limits of AR 711 and AR 750, clothing and food come only as packages ordered through the SecurePak program, and anything the canteen or AccessSecurePak already sells may not be mailed in from outside.
Money: lockbox coupons, Access Corrections and the kiosks
The banking page gives three standard methods: a Lockbox Deposit Coupon with a cashier's check or money order, a MasterCard or Visa payment through Access Corrections online, or a call to Access Corrections. The coupon is printed from the site or comes from the inmate, who is responsible for sending coupons to the people who want to deposit; because of counterfeit activity, funds from every money order and cashier's check the department receives directly become available 14 calendar days after receipt, and deposits may be reduced by deductions the Nevada Revised Statutes authorize, which the Offender Banking unit lists as medical, dental and prosthetic copays, disciplinary sanctions, child support, court fines, fees and assessments, and victim restitution under the judgment of conviction.
Since November 1, 2025 the deposit rates are $2.50 for cash at a lobby kiosk at any amount, and for a MasterCard, Visa or Discover payment at a countertop terminal, kiosk, phone line or the web $0.90 up to $9.99, $1.75 from $10 to $19.99, $5.95 from $20 to $99.99, $6.95 from $100 to $199.99 and $7.95 from $200 to $399. Lobby kiosks stand at High Desert, Florence McClure, Northern Nevada Correctional Center, Lovelock and Southern Desert, taking cash and cards, and at Ely State Prison, cards only; the walk in retail page and the deposit questions page said information was coming soon.
The department warns anyone not already acquainted with an inmate to be wary of requests for money for release, restitution or other claimed costs: it has no restitution payment schedules, requires no fee for any kind of release, and takes no responsibility for what an inmate says when asking for funds.
Visiting: the application goes to the institution
The visiting page states in capitals that visiting applications are not sent to the central office but to the institution where the inmate is currently housed, under Administrative Regulation 719 and a visitation manual last updated August 28, 2017, on the Inmate Visiting Application form; the department's questions page puts approval or denial at about two to six weeks. The page carried a notice of temporary changes to visitation schedules effective April 2025, with the details on each facility's page, and limits video visitation to juvenile inmates at Lovelock Correctional Center, with visitor stations at Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center in Las Vegas.
Parole, transfers, release and records
The department does not supervise parolees or people on probation; information on them comes from the Parole and Probation Division of the Department of Public Safety, whose pre-release unit approves release plans and residential confinement and sets the date of release to parole, which the department learns only when it is final. The time and place of a parole hearing and the Board's decisions come from the Board of Parole Commissioners, which posts hearing agendas, notifications and victim information.
The department says nothing about when an approved transfer will be carried out, moves nobody for convenience or family reunification, and reserves interstate compact transfers for serious behavioral problems or a documented need for protection; a compassionate release exists for the terminally ill and the substantially handicapped, started by the Medical Division and explained by the Family Services Division. A request for information about an inmate beyond the search goes to omdrecords@doc.nv.gov or to the Offender Management Division, Nevada Department of Corrections, P.O. Box 7011, Carson City, Nevada 89702, with a public record fees page beside it.
Reading a Nevada result
A search result means a Nevada prison sentence being served now, with the department's own caution that the data is raw and not an official record; no result means a county jail, parole, probation or release, and in Clark County the detention center search is the next step. The caller ID number tells which facility is calling, the message route is Corrlinks, the deposit waits 14 days if it came as a money order, and the visit begins with a form mailed to that facility.
