Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Washoe County - Jan Evans Juvenile Justice Center
Juvenile custody information is more restricted than adult jail information in Nevada, so public rosters may be limited or unavailable for this facility. Adult inmate rosters typically list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but juvenile records are often released only to a parent, legal guardian, attorney, or authorized agency. New booking information, when searchable, may take several hours to appear because intake and processing must be completed first. Use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster, and contact the facility directly if the youth does not appear or if the case involves a juvenile record.
