The Nevada Department of Corrections is the agency responsible for keeping an updated database on inmates serving out their time in Nevada state prisons.
The database contains current inmates, probationers, parolees, and inmates that got released. You can search for inmates by their offender number or their first and last name. If you are a victim and looking for further information on an offender, you can call (775) 887-3393. If you have any question regarding an offender, you can call (775) 887-3367.
Unlike the state of Nevada, Nevada city and county jails keep their records separate from one another. If you are looking for an inmate residing in a city or county jail in Nevada, you will need to contact the right authorities to get the proper information.

How to Do an Inmate Search in Nevada
When an offender is housed in a state prison, they are property of the Department of Corrections Division. As stated above every state’s Department of Corrections Division has their own jail roster or database that the general public may use.
You can search the inmate list by using the following pieces of information:
NDOC Number
First Name
Last Name
The DC number will take precedence during all searches. The NDOC is a five-digit number. All incoming inmates will be assigned their NDOC number by the Nevada Department of Corrections. This will be the easiest and quickest way to locate an inmate.
If you decide to enter their NDOC number in the field provided, you will NOT need to enter their first and last name. However, the NDOC field will only show results for the EXACT number you have entered, so you will want to double check, if no results pop up.
If you don’t know the inmate’s NDOC number or there is no search results for the NDOC number you plugged in, the next thing you can do is search by the inmate’s first and last name.
When you finally get some search results, you will see a list of all inmates that fit the criteria you plugged in. This is not a release search. All inmates are currently sitting behind bars.
