Find Lyon County Detention Facility Releases

Where Lyon Detention Releases Go

The Lyon County Detention Facility can process several kinds of departures. Bond, own-recognizance release, dismissal, completion of a local sentence, and another court-authorized release can return a person to the community. The jail can also transfer someone to the Nevada Department of Corrections after a prison sentence, another county on a warrant, or a federal or immigration authority. Those transfers end the Lyon jail stay, but they do not mean the person is free from custody.

A release sheet is the best local record of when the facility relinquished custody and why. Nevada S.A.V.E. can help answer whether a covered person remains in custody, while the underlying court file explains the order, judgment, bond, dismissal, or sentence that led to the departure. These sources should be reconciled rather than used as substitutes for one another.

Confirm a Lyon County Jail Release

The Sheriff's official inmate-search page directs the public to the Lyon County Sheriff mobile app for inmate information and to Nevada S.A.V.E. for a custody check or notification. Neither source is described as a historical release list. Use them to establish a current lead, then obtain the record that documents the departure.

1. Check the current source. Search the Sheriff app and use Nevada S.A.V.E. online or by telephone for a named person.
2. Do not stop at an absence. A missing app entry can reflect release, transfer, correction, or a data outage.
3. Request the source record. Ask the Sheriff for the booking and release sheet, using the full name, date of birth if known, booking number, and date range.
4. Read the destination. A transfer or receiving-agency entry determines whether to move to NDOC, another county, BOP, or ICE.
5. Match the court case. Review the proper Lyon court docket for the order or disposition behind the release.

Lyon Detention Records and Contact

The Detention Division operates within the Lyon County Sheriff's Office. Call the published facility number for operational questions, but use the Sheriff's public-records route when the goal is an existing booking, release, or photograph record. A focused request helps records staff identify the correct booking and avoids asking the office to create a new analysis.

Identify the subject by full name, date of birth if known, booking number, and the relevant date range. Ask for the existing booking/release sheet, booking history, release date and time, release reason or authority, and any receiving-agency or destination field maintained in the record. A booking photograph should be requested separately. If any portion is withheld, ask the custodian to identify the legal basis.

Inside Lyon County's Detention System

This is the county's verified current adult detention facility. It handles ordinary Lyon County arrests, pretrial detention, and local custody under the Sheriff's Detention Division. It is not an NDOC prison, a federal institution, or an ICE detention center. A person sentenced by a Lyon court to state prison leaves county custody and may be assigned to any suitable NDOC institution, so no single outside prison can accurately be called Lyon County's serving state facility.

The former Silver Springs Conservation Camp is physically associated with Lyon County history, but NDOC now labels it closed. It is not an active release point and does not receive its own facility page. Historical custody there belongs in NDOC's statewide records, including the Demographic, Booking, Parole, and Release data linked from the NDOC offender search.

What a Lyon Release Record Can Show

Lyon County has not published a field dictionary promising every item on every release sheet. A precise request can nevertheless identify the information needed to distinguish release from transfer. The response may be affected by sealing, confidentiality, redaction, or the fields the agency actually maintains.

The court record may show bail, dismissal, sentencing, probation, or a release order, but it may not record the exact time jail staff completed checks and returned property. Conversely, a jail entry does not prove every charge ended. Match dates, booking identifiers, and the correct Lyon court file.

Lyon Justice Complex Release Records

The Sheriff, detention facility, Third Judicial District Court, and Walker River Justice Court share the Lyon County Justice Complex in Yerington, which opened in 2013. The offices are close together, but they remain separate legal custodians. This local arrangement makes it especially important to direct each request to the office that created the record.

Ask the Sheriff for the operational booking and release record. Ask the clerk of the court that handled the case for the docket, order, judgment, and disposition. The Lyon County courts directory helps identify the proper court, while the Justice Complex history documents the co-located offices.

The shared Harvey Way address can appear on both custody and judicial papers. That does not merge the records or make the jail roster a court record. A release inquiry may require two requests even though the offices occupy one complex. Match the Sheriff’s booking number and release time with the court case number and order date, then preserve the different functions of each source.

Nevada Rules for Lyon Release Records

Nevada's Public Records Act supplies the request framework. NRS 239.0107 generally requires a response by the end of the fifth business day. The agency may provide access, explain that it lacks custody, cite legal authority for denial, or give a written date and time when it expects to complete the request. NRS 239.052 favors an electronic copy when the record is readily available in that form.

The law permits actual reproduction costs, but no Lyon-specific detention release-log fee was located in the research. Request electronic delivery and ask for an estimate if a charge may apply. No verified official source states how long a former detainee remains in the app or how long a booking photograph remains available online. The applicable government retention schedule and the custodian's record series control, so absence from a public interface does not prove destruction.

After a Lyon Transfer Leaves the Roster

A commitment to NDOC is a move from county detention into state prison custody. Search NDOC by offender ID when possible, or by first and last name using the wildcard described on its form. Review status, location, booking and sentence information, parole data, and release history. An inactive-discharge signal or actual release entry is stronger evidence than a name simply failing to appear.

Federal and immigration transfers require different tools. The BOP locator covers federal records from 1982 onward and can display a release date with a released or not-in-BOP-custody status. ICE's Online Detainee Locator can include qualifying people released from ICE custody during the prior 60 days, subject to exclusions and delay. No separate federal prison or ICE detention center was verified in Lyon County, and the U.S. Marshals Service does not offer a public released-prisoner locator.

Note: A locator showing the end of one agency's custody does not rule out another hold, transfer, or continuing supervision.

Lyon Detention Release Logistics

Lyon County publishes one precise bond-processing distinction. The official bail information says most bond transactions process within one hour, but physical release after bond can take up to five hours. Bonds can be handled around the clock in the Justice Complex lobby, with an intercom at the locked entrance after hours. Payment time is therefore not the release time, and the published maximum is not a fixed promise for every case.

Property follows a separate documented rule. The inmate must start a third-party property-release form, and the named recipient must show government photo identification. Pickup is in the Justice Complex lobby on non-holiday weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If requested property is not collected before release or transfer, it leaves with the person. Do not invent a post-release storage period.
