Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center Overview
Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center is operated by NDOC at 4370 Smiley Road in Las Vegas. The research identifies FMWCC as Nevada's primary women's prison and as the state facility handling female sentenced custody. It also handles female intake and reception functions. That role is important for Clark County because a woman arrested locally may first appear in county or city custody, then move to NDOC after conviction and sentencing.
NDOC lists the facility capacity as 950. The facility serves all female custody levels, which means housing status may depend on classification, sentence, safety needs, programs, medical needs, and transfer decisions. A current NDOC record can identify the institution, but it should not be read as the full court file or as proof that all public case details are available.
The manifest includes the official FMWCC facility screenshot. The NDOC Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center page is the facility source for identity, location, and published prison information.
The image confirms the NDOC source page, while the offender search is still the tool used to look up a person in state custody.
Florence McClure Women's Inmate Search
Use the Nevada Department of Corrections offender search for Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center. The Clark County jail roster is for current local custody and may stop helping after prison commitment. If a woman was recently sentenced from a Clark County case, the NDOC record may lag during transfer, intake, or classification.
A name match should be checked carefully because the state record is not the same document as the original jail booking or the criminal complaint. The NDOC search points to state custody and may show institution, status, and offender identifiers. The court record explains the charge history, amendments, sentencing, and any later court orders. A person can also move between FMWCC, another NDOC unit, a medical setting, court transport, or release processing, so the institution field should be verified close to the time a visit, letter, or deposit is planned.
- Open the NDOC offender search form.
- Enter the Offender ID when known.
- Use last name and first name if the ID is not available.
- Check the institution field for Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center.
- Use court portals or jail records for arrest charges, court events, and past local booking details.
| Lookup Need | Best Source | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Current state-prison location | NDOC offender search | FMWCC is an NDOC facility. |
| Recent local booking | County or city jail roster | Booking happens before prison commitment. |
| Court charges | Clark County court portals | The court record shows filings and outcomes. |
| Notifications | Nevada VINELink | Useful for custody notice where available. |
For general Clark County jail lookup before a prison transfer, jail inmate records explain how county custody differs from NDOC custody.
Florence McClure Women's Contact
Contact the facility for public facility routing and to confirm general visiting or location issues. Do not expect staff to release protected medical details, confidential security information, sealed records, or full criminal-history files by phone. Nevada agencies must respond to public-records requests under state law, but they may redact or withhold material that another law makes confidential.
Family members should keep the custody stage clear when calling. Questions about a fresh Las Vegas booking usually belong with the county or city jail. Questions about an active criminal case belong with the court or attorney. Questions about a woman already committed to NDOC and assigned to FMWCC belong with the state corrections system. Using the right agency reduces bad transfers and helps avoid relying on an old county roster entry after prison intake.

Florence McClure Women's Visits
FMWCC visiting follows NDOC prison rules. Use the NDOC visitation page to check approval requirements, identification, visitor lists, dress rules, schedules, and current restrictions. A person may be temporarily unavailable for social visits during intake, classification, discipline, medical holds, or transfer.
Visitors should treat published schedules as conditional until the facility confirms them. Prison visiting can be affected by classification status, housing movement, security reviews, staffing, and temporary operational limits. Approval also belongs to the visitor and the inmate, not just the date on a schedule. If the NDOC search shows a different institution, follow the rules for that listed facility instead of assuming FMWCC still controls the visit.
| Visit Step | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Custody location | Confirm FMWCC through the NDOC search. |
| Visitor approval | Follow NDOC approved visitor rules. |
| Schedule | Check facility status before travel. |
| Entry screening | Bring ID and follow contraband and dress rules. |
Note: Confirm NDOC visiting status before traveling because intake or facility restrictions can change access.
Florence McClure Women's Mail
Mail, phone, and money rules for FMWCC come from NDOC inmate and family services. The Clark County Detention Center mail and deposit pages do not control a state-prison account. Mail may be inspected, rejected, or delayed for security reasons. Money deposits may involve vendor fees, account limits, and deductions set by NDOC policy or court obligations.
| Service | Use |
|---|---|
| Follow NDOC addressing and content rules. | |
| Phone | Use NDOC phone account procedures. |
| Funds | Use NDOC deposit channels and verify fees. |
| Release planning | Use NDOC reentry and classification channels. |

Florence McClure Women's Role
Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center gives Clark County a major women's prison presence in addition to the downtown county jail and the Indian Springs men's prisons. A woman arrested locally may start in a local jail, appear in court, and later move into NDOC custody. The search route changes at that point. FMWCC should be treated as a state-prison lookup page, not a county jail roster page.
This distinction is especially important in Clark County because the local custody map is crowded. CCDC, the City of Las Vegas Detention Center, Henderson Detention Center, and North Las Vegas Community Correctional Center all serve local functions. FMWCC serves a state function. A reader trying to find a woman after sentencing should not keep refreshing the county roster once NDOC has accepted custody. The statewide offender search is the controlling lookup path for the prison stage.
High Desert State Prison, Southern Desert Correctional Center, FMWCC, and Casa Grande Transitional Housing all use NDOC systems. County, city, federal, and immigration custody use different records channels.
