Property Release
There are two ways property releases can be initiated: the inmate housed in the units can request a property release form from an officer, or an outside person can request the property release form at the bail window. Both requests require the completion of a property release form. All property requests will be processed during the designated times only. Property releases will entail releasing all of the inmate’s property or all of the inmate’s money. This includes property/money releases for bail purposes.

Property release times are 7 to 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Classification and Inmate Programs
While in custody, inmates receive a wide variety of support services including 24-hour medical care, personal and group counseling, weekly religious services, library, commissary, visitation and recreational activities.

While at the detention center, inmates are assigned a variety of jobs. Job assignments are designed to prepare the inmates for re-integration into society by teaching them work and social skills. Inmates meeting strict criteria can participate in community work programs. The Outside Work Crew and the Beautification Project utilize inmates to maintain sanitary conditions throughout the city, including parks, streets and the downtown area.

The Family and Youth Services (FYS) Community Trustee Crew assists employees at the Clark County Family and Youth Services kitchen with food preparation, service and sanitation. Other inmate workers are assigned to the facility’s culinary building where meals are prepared for the detention center.

Release Information
For the safety of the inmate, we do not give out the release time, which varies daily. Male inmates are released at the corner of 1st Street and Lewis. Female inmates are released at the corner of 1 Street and Lewis in daylight hours. After dark, female inmates are released at City Hall.
