Find CCDC Release Records

CCDC Release Paths

Clark County Detention Center is the county’s principal detention operation. Its official in-custody search is useful for one narrow question: does the system report the person in CCDC custody now? It is not a past-release list. A missing name can reflect a release, a move to North Valley Complex, a transfer, a spelling mismatch, processing delay, protective custody, or an age-based exclusion. CCDC does not display people under 18 or people in protective custody. Those limits make absence a lead, not a finding.

An outgoing CCDC event can mean bond, own-recognizance release, time served, a court order, sentence completion, transfer to the Nevada Department of Corrections, transfer to another jail, or a handoff under a federal or immigration hold. A detainer is a request or authority that can keep custody in place after one case would otherwise permit release. The completed movement entry should identify the disposition or receiving agency. The court docket explains the legal basis, but the detention record supplies the physical exit event.

Confirm a CCDC Release

Use identifiers before relying on a name. The CCDC instructions accept an inmate ID, Justice Court case number, or at least two letters of the last name, and recommend more surname letters to narrow results. A positive match is current-custody information at the query time. If there is no match, call the official information line because CCDC states that email is not used for inmate information and that the phone line supplies the most current answer.

1. Search the official CCDC page with the inmate ID or case number when known.
2. Record the query time and compare the identifying details.
3. Call 702-671-3900 and ask whether the booking closed.
4. Ask for the actual release date, time, disposition, and receiving agency.
5. Check the correct Justice or District Court docket for the order or case result.
6. Request the existing movement record when written proof is needed.

The Clark County released-inmate search and records routes are covered in full on the Clark County release search. For a state commitment, switch to the NDOC search. Its Demographic, Alias, Booking, Parole, and Release data are separate domains. Parole means release from prison with supervision still in force, while discharge generally marks the end of the controlling corrections term unless another obligation applies.

Request CCDC Release Records

Clark County’s central request page says the county is not the custodian of police, detention, or court files. For an identifiable CCDC booking and movement record, use LVMPD Public Records. Give the full legal name, inmate or booking number, approximate booking range, and case number when available. Ask for existing records, not a new narrative about whether someone is free.

A focused request should identify the booking sheet, actual release date and time, release disposition or destination, transfer agency when public, and booking photograph if needed and disclosable. The Detention Records Bureau books and releases inmates, maintains the jail-management system, scans detention documents, and reports custody status to agencies. That operational trail is much stronger than an unexplained web-search disappearance.

A Letter of Incarceration is another written fallback. Requests go to dsdrsuc@lvmpd.com with a usable email or mailing address. The official page does not promise a fee, response time, or exact set of fields. Ask whether booked and released dates can be certified for the booking at issue.

CCDC Archived Release Records

The short online trail should not be confused with the government records trail. Nevada’s local-government retention schedule preserves jail inmate case files, including entry and release records, transfer material, orders, fingerprints, mugshots, work-release records, and prerelease agreements, for 85 calendar years after release or transfer or until confirmed death, whichever occurs first. The schedule is a minimum, and a legal hold can suspend destruction.

Other schedules are shorter. Jail registers that include release or transfer dates are retained for five years. Release orders are kept for three years after release, with a copy placed in the inmate file. Current rosters have a 90-day period after update. These rules support a narrow archive request; they do not require web publication or defeat confidentiality, sealing, juvenile rules, or security redactions. Nevada Public Records Act requests generally receive one of the statutory responses by the end of the fifth business day, but that is not a promise that a large request will be completed by then.

Release record

The custodian’s completed outgoing event for a booking.

Transfer

A move to another custodian, not freedom from custody.

Detainer

A hold or request that can block community release.

Parole

Prison release followed by state supervision.

CCDC Bond and Gate Exit

The CCDC bail-bond window operates around the clock and charges a $50 filing fee. Posting bond begins the release process. It does not prove that the person has walked out. Staff still may need to establish identity, resolve other cases, review detainers, and complete release work. A John or Jane Doe cannot post bail until fingerprint identification is finished; the county directs a person with legal identification to call.

For that reason, a bond receipt, a scheduled court event, or anticipated release field should not be treated as an actual gate time. Call 702-671-3900 after bond posts and ask whether any other case or hold remains. Then request the completed movement entry if exact proof matters. Court minutes may show the judge’s authority, yet they may appear before or after the physical exit. The two records answer different questions.

Note: CCDC Pretrial Services can explain the bail transaction at 702-455-3462, while detention staff confirm whether release processing actually finished.

After a CCDC Release

Former CCDC inmates may recover trust funds after release. A former inmate can appear with valid photo identification or mail a notarized request to CCDC, Attention: Inmate Accounts, at 330 S. Casino Center Boulevard. Questions can go to inmateaccounts@lvmpd.com or the information line. This is a post-release account process, not evidence of the release date, so keep the account request separate from the custody record request.

A released or transferred person also has seven days to ask that an unfinished grievance or disciplinary appeal continue. The request may go to DSDRMA@LVMPD.com or by mail to RMA, Grievances/Appeals. That short deadline applies whether the person returned to the community or moved to another custodian. It is a distinct Clark County rule worth acting on promptly.

Finally, use the court that handled the case. Las Vegas Justice Court or another township Justice Court may hold lower-court minutes, while Eighth Judicial District Court handles felony and gross-misdemeanor proceedings and later sentencing activity. A dismissal, sentence, commitment, or release order explains why custody changed. The CCDC exit record remains the source for when and to whom the physical movement occurred.
