Lookup Storey County Detention Center Inmates

Storey County Detention Center Overview

The Storey County Detention Center is the only adult detention facility identified in official Storey County detention materials. It is operated by the Storey County Sheriff's Office. The county's detention page says the facility provides secure housing for people charged with felonies before conviction, gross misdemeanors, misdemeanors, and people held pending bail or case outcome. Misdemeanants can serve county jail time there, while convicted felons are sentenced to the state prison system or probation.

This is a county jail, not a state prison or federal detention center. That distinction controls the lookup path. Current local custody routes to the jail. Sentenced felony custody routes to the Nevada Department of Corrections. Federal and immigration custody use BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE channels, not the Storey County Detention Center roster path.

Storey County Detention Center Capacity

The Current Facility page says the jail was built in 1992 and underwent a major renovation in 2011 using inmate labor to reduce costs. After the renovation, the facility could house 25 adult inmates. The same page states the jail has an isolation and observation cell, is handicap accessible under Nevada law, and does not house juveniles. Juveniles are housed in Carson City at the Juvenile Facility.

The county's Current Facility page is the source for the building history, capacity, visiting, and mail rules.

That page also gives the practical location note that the jail is reached by the truck route about one-quarter mile from town.
