How to Find an Inmate at Clark County Las Vegas City Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. Jail rosters typically list a person’s name, booking date, charges, custody status, and sometimes bond or court information. Records usually become searchable only after booking and intake are completed, which can take several hours, so a newly arrested person may not appear immediately. If the person is not listed, check again later or confirm whether the arrest was handled by a city, county, or other law enforcement agency in Nevada.
