Creating Public Jail Records

NV takes great pride in keeping detailed records of each inmate. The process begins with the arrest and continues well after release during supervision and parole. Each time something occurs that affects the inmate, it is noted in the file and updated. Paper versions of many of the forms exist, but most of it is kept in an online software program, accessible by all agencies in law enforcement. The information is stored in a consolidated location and shared to make overseeing many inmates easier and more controllable. Nevada prison inmate search records are updated daily.
