Clark County Detention Center Overview
Clark County Detention Center, often shortened to CCDC, is operated by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department through the Clark County Detention Services Division. It is the primary county jail for adult pretrial custody, local sentenced custody, contract or hold custody, and people waiting for transfer after court action. The official Clark County facility page lists CCDC at 330 South Casino Center Boulevard in downtown Las Vegas, close to the Regional Justice Center and other court and public-safety offices.
The facility should not be confused with the City of Las Vegas Detention Center on Stewart Avenue. CCDC is the county jail hub. City detention centers handle municipal arrests, city warrants, and local misdemeanor matters that may not appear in the county roster. A felony arrest, district-court case, county hold, or transfer order can move a person into CCDC even if the arrest began with another local agency.
The Clark County Detention Center official page is the service directory for the jail. It links to custody search, visitation, inmate mail, deposits, phone service, bail, property, house arrest, and inmate records. The page is useful when the roster gives only a status snapshot and the next task is visiting, sending mail, adding money, or requesting an incarceration letter.
The official CCDC page shows the main jail service links used by families and attorneys.
Those service links matter because the Clark County Detention Center inmate record is only one part of jail access.
Clark County Detention Center Population
The Clark County Detention Services Division 2023 annual report is the strongest local source for CCDC scale. It lists 60,720 bookings, 60,264 releases, and an average daily population of 1,847 for 2023. Vera's Clark County profile lists 3,884 jail beds for the county jail system. Those figures describe a large urban jail where annual booking volume is far higher than the average number of people held on a given day.
Average daily population is the better figure for the normal jail count. Bookings measure intake workload. Releases measure how many people leave by bond, court order, sentence completion, transfer, dismissal, or other legal process. Capacity is not the same as usable beds every day because classification, medical housing, security separation, gender separation, and staffing can affect how the building is used.
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Average daily population | 1,847 | Clark County DSD Annual Report, 2023 |
| Annual bookings | 60,720 | Clark County DSD Annual Report, 2023 |
| Annual releases | 60,264 | Clark County DSD Annual Report, 2023 |
| Listed bed capacity | 3,884 | Vera Institute Clark County profile |
Clark County Detention Center Inmate Lookup
The correct online starting point is the CCDC in-custody search portal. It is a current-custody tool for Clark County Detention Center inmates. It is not a statewide Nevada Department of Corrections search, a city jail database, a federal Bureau of Prisons locator, or a historical arrest index. If a person was just arrested, the booking record may need time before it appears publicly.
The official search route may ask the user to accept a roster disclaimer before reaching the person-search form. Name searches should start broad. A last name is the main field, and a first name can narrow common surnames. If the exact spelling fails, try fewer first-name details or known name variants. Released inmates may fall out of the current roster, while sentenced felony prisoners should be searched through the Nevada Department of Corrections offender search.
The Clark County current inmate search entry page is the public route into the roster.
Use the roster as a live custody check, then verify older or missing records through CCDC records or LVMPD public records.
- Open the official CCDC in-custody search and accept any roster disclaimer shown by Clark County.
- Search by last name first, then add first-name details only if the result list is too broad.
- Open the matching profile and compare booking details, charges, bond, holds, and housing information if displayed.
- If no match appears, check city detention, NDOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, or call CCDC at the published information line.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Generally required | Use the booked surname and try spelling variants. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Useful for common last names. |
| Identifier fields | Text | Unspecified | Booking or person identifiers may appear by portal state. |
| Search and reset | Buttons | Not applicable | Run or clear the query. |
Clark County Detention Center Contact
Use the main CCDC information line for custody status, jail business, and routing when the online search is not enough. Records requests are handled through the CCDC inmate records page or the LVMPD public records portal, not through a commercial background-check site. Nevada public-records law gives agencies a response or status timeline, but records may still be redacted or withheld when law makes them confidential.

Clark County Detention Center Visitation
CCDC visitation rules are controlled by the official Clark County visitation page. Visitors should confirm scheduling requirements before traveling. Adult visitors should expect government photo identification, security screening, dress-code enforcement, and limits on property brought into the visitor area. Children generally must be supervised and must follow facility rules.
Professional visits are separate from social visits. Attorneys and approved professionals should use the jail's professional-visit procedures instead of assuming normal public visitation applies. A person may also be temporarily unavailable because of intake, court movement, medical review, discipline, housing change, classification, or release processing.
The official visitation page explains scheduling and rule checks for Clark County Detention Center visits.
Checking the visitation page before each trip reduces the risk of arriving with the wrong documents, property, or schedule.
| Visit Topic | CCDC Rule Source | Practical Point |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduling | CCDC visitation page | Confirm the current process before arrival. |
| Identification | Facility rules | Bring government photo ID. |
| Screening | Facility rules | Visitors are subject to denial for violations. |
| Attorney visits | Professional-visit procedures | Use the professional channel. |
Clark County Jail Mail and Money
Mail, phone, and money are handled through separate CCDC service pages. Use the CCDC inmate mail page for the exact mailing format and current restrictions. Include the inmate's full booked name and any required booking or person identifier. Mail can be inspected, returned, rejected, or processed through current jail rules.
Use the CCDC inmate funds page for official deposit options. Do not send cash through ordinary mail. Deposit fees, vendor options, lobby kiosks, and phone-deposit rules can change. Phone access is also a separate service. Inmates usually cannot receive normal incoming calls, so family members should set up the approved phone account or follow the jail's emergency-message process.
The CCDC funds page identifies the official route for money deposits and commissary support.
Using the official funds page helps avoid sending money through an unrelated vendor.
| Service | Official Source | Use |
|---|---|---|
| CCDC inmate mail page | Address format, restrictions, rejected items | |
| Funds | CCDC inmate funds page | Deposit options and commissary account support |
| Phone | CCDC phone service page | Account setup, blocked-number rules, rates |
| Property | CCDC property page | Release authorizations and pickup rules |
Clark County Detention Center Booking
Booking at CCDC follows arrest, transport, identification, warrant and hold checks, property inventory, medical and mental-health screening, fingerprinting, booking photo processing where required, charge entry, classification, initial housing, and court or bail routing. A person can be physically in the jail before the public roster is complete because intake must finish enough data checks for public display.
Bail is controlled by the court order. The jail may display bond or hold information, but a person with a bond amount may still not release if another warrant, probation or parole hold, immigration detainer, federal hold, or no-bond order applies. The CCDC bail page is the local source for posting instructions, while the court docket explains filed charges and future hearings.
Note: A CCDC booking charge is not always the final court charge filed by the prosecutor.
CCDC and Other Custody Systems
A missing CCDC roster result does not prove the person is free. Henderson, North Las Vegas, and City of Las Vegas detention channels cover municipal custody. The Nevada Department of Corrections offender search covers sentenced state prisoners after transfer. The Federal Bureau of Prisons locator covers sentenced federal custody, and the ICE detainee locator covers immigration detention. Nevada VINELink can help with custody notifications where available.
| Custody Stage | Where to Search | Why CCDC May Not Show It |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | CCDC in-custody search | This is the main CCDC roster. |
| Municipal custody | City detention channels | City cases can stay outside CCDC. |
| Sentenced prison custody | NDOC offender search | State prisons are not county jail rosters. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | ICE custody can route to separate contract facilities. |
