Carson City, NV WSCC - Warm Springs Correctional Center View

It is not a county jail; it primarily houses sentenced adult inmates committed to state custody, rather than people held locally while awaiting trial.

Court appearances, bail matters, and short-term booking for new arrests are generally handled by local courts and county or city detention facilities before a person is transferred to NDOC custody.

How to Find an Inmate at WSCC - Warm Springs Correctional Center
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or offender search. Jail rosters commonly list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status; state prison searches may also list an offender number, current facility, sentence information, and release eligibility. Records usually become searchable only after intake and data entry are complete. Processing can take several hours, and a newly booked or recently transferred person may not appear immediately. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the appropriate local jail, court, or Nevada Department of Corrections office for guidance.
