Clark County Jails & Detention Centers: A Complete Guide to Every Facility in Las Vegas

A professional and clean hero image featuring a scale of justice and a gavel on a mahogany desk with a blurred Las Vegas skyline background.

Finding out that a friend or family member has been arrested is a stressful experience. The first question most people ask is, "Where are they?" In Clark County, there isn't just one "jail." Depending on where someone was arrested and what they are charged with, they could be held at one of several different facilities.

At ALMIGHTY BAIL BONDS INC, we know that the faster you find your loved one, the faster we can help you get them home. This guide explains every major jail and detention center in the Las Vegas area, how to find an inmate, and how to contact the facilities.

1. Clark County Detention Center (CCDC)

The Clark County Detention Center (CCDC) is the primary jail for the Las Vegas area. It is operated by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) and is the largest facility in the county. It primarily houses defendants awaiting trial for felony or misdemeanor charges, as well as those sentenced to less than one year of incarceration.

  • Phone: (702) 671-3900

The North Valley Complex (NVC)

It is important to note that the CCDC also operates the North Valley Complex (NVC). This is a satellite facility located at 3500 N. Sloan Lane. If an inmate is at NVC, they are still considered a CCDC inmate, and the same records system applies. The NVC is often used for work programs and general housing to manage the main facility's population.

How to Find an Inmate at CCDC

You can use the official Clark County Inmate Search tool. You will need the person's last name or their Inmate ID number. If you cannot find them online, you can call the CCDC information line at (702) 671-3900. Be aware that it can take several hours after an arrest for a person to appear in the system.

2. Las Vegas City Jail (Las Vegas Detention Center)

While the CCDC handles county-wide arrests, the Las Vegas City Jail specifically handles misdemeanor arrests that occur within the city limits of Las Vegas. If your loved one was arrested by city police for a minor offense like a traffic violation or a small theft, they might be here.

  • Address: 3300 Stewart Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89101
  • Phone: (702) 229-6444
  • Bail Hotline: (702) 229-6460
  • Website: lasvegasnevada.gov

Because this jail handles shorter-term stays and city-specific crimes, the release process can sometimes be quicker than at the larger county facility. You can search for inmates directly on the CLV Inmate Search page hosted by the City of Las Vegas.

3. Henderson Detention Center

The Henderson Detention Center is located south of the main Las Vegas Strip and serves the City of Henderson. This facility has a capacity of over 500 inmates and is used for local arrests within the Henderson jurisdiction.

  • Phone: (702) 267-5245

The Henderson jail is known for being well-maintained and having an efficient booking process. To find an inmate here, visit the City of Henderson's official website and look for the "View Inmates" link.

4. North Las Vegas Detention Center

For several years, North Las Vegas sent its inmates to other facilities, but in July 2020, the North Las Vegas Detention Center / Community Correctional Center opened its doors. This facility acts as a pre-trial detention center for up to 500 residents arrested within the North Las Vegas city limits.

Inmate lookups for this facility are found under the "Offender Search" section of the City of North Las Vegas official site.

5. Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center (FMWCC)

Unlike the jails mentioned above, the Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center is a state prison, not a local jail. It is operated by the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC). This facility houses female offenders who have already been sentenced to prison for longer durations.

  • Phone: (725) 216-6150
  • Website: doc.nv.gov

FMWCC has a capacity of approximately 950 inmates and houses all custody levels, from minimum to maximum security. If you are looking for an inmate here, you must use the Nevada Department of Corrections Offender Search portal.

6. Jean Conservation Camp (Closing Notice)

The Jean Conservation Camp has historically served as a minimum-security facility for female offenders, providing them with opportunities for vocational training and conservation work.

  • Address: 3 Prison Rd, Jean, NV 89019
  • Phone: (702) 874-2509
  • Status: Closing July 1, 2026

Important Update: As of tomorrow, July 1, 2026, the Jean Conservation Camp is scheduled to officially close. Most residents are being transferred to other state facilities, primarily the Florence McClure Women’s Correctional Center. If you have a loved one who was stationed here, check the NDOC inmate search tool to see where they have been relocated.

7. Clark County Juvenile Detention Center

When a minor (ages 8 to 18) is arrested, they are not taken to the adult jails. Instead, they are housed at the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center, managed by Juvenile Justice Services (JJDS).

Privacy Note: Because the inmates are minors, their names are not listed on public inmate search tools. To find out if a child is being held here, you must call the facility directly and provide proof of guardianship or relationship.

How Bail Bonds Work in Clark County

Understanding the jails is the first step, but getting someone out of those jails is the next. When a person is arrested, a judge will typically set a "bail amount." This is a sum of money that acts as a guarantee that the defendant will show up for their court dates.

If you can't afford the full bail amount (which can often be thousands of dollars), you can use a bail bond service like ALMIGHTY BAIL BONDS INC.

The Process:

  1. Search: Use the links above to find where your loved one is held.
  2. Call Us: Contact ALMIGHTY BAIL BONDS INC. We will need the inmate's name and the jail location.
  3. Paperwork: You pay a small percentage of the total bail (usually a state-mandated fee).
  4. Release: We post the full bond with the court, and the jail begins the release process.

Why Speed Matters

Jails in Clark County, especially the CCDC, can be crowded. The booking and release process can take anywhere from 4 to 24 hours. The sooner the bond is posted, the sooner the "release clock" starts ticking.
