Nevada Police Jail Policies and Procedures

Intake Procedures

The jail intake procedure at the Nevada Police Jail takes you through each of the following steps:

You will be placed in a holding cell. If the jail is really busy, it will take a while to get processed.

First, you have to answer some simple questions, such as your full name, home address, date of birth and contact person, and you will also be asked about your mental and medical history. Next, you’ll be given an inmate ID number and you will get fingerprinted. Then, all of your personal property will be taken away from you and will be stored until you are released.

You will be allowed to make a phone call to contact a member of your family, friend, or loved one.

If they expect that you will make bail and be released quickly, you will be allowed to keep wearing street clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will be issued a jail uniform – the jumpsuit.

Discharge Procedures

Once bail has been posted, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail may take anywhere between 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. In other words the faster you can post bail, the sooner you will get released. Also, how fast you get released will depend on whether you have a cash bond or if the judge must decide on the bail amount. For a minor charge, you will be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and have a date of your release, plan to get discharged in the morning.

If an inmate has fines or are required to pay restitution then they will be subject to garnishment of their commissary/trust account. If the inmate has a garnishment, then money to pay them will be taken from the inmateâ€™s bank account. In some cases it may be a percentage or the entire amount of the obligation, but the actual percentage depends on the circumstances. We recommend that inmates talk to the counselor at their facility and try to find out. You can also try to make an arrangement so that only a percentage of your commissary funds are taken, instead of all your funds take at one time.
