Storey County Detention Center Release Paths
Storey County Detention Center is a county jail, not a state prison. It holds adults awaiting resolution of felony, gross-misdemeanor, and misdemeanor cases and may hold people serving eligible misdemeanor sentences. A person may leave after bail posts, under written pretrial conditions, after time served, at sentence completion, under another court order, or through a transfer.
A local release to the community is best documented by the booking and release record plus the court disposition. A felony sentence can instead lead to NDOC. An agency hold can send the person to another custodian. The receiving agency then controls the next status. Use “transferred” when the destination field shows a handoff, because Storey custody can end while confinement continues.
| Exit path | Where the person may go | Confirmation source |
|---|---|---|
| Bail or pretrial order | Community under written terms | Jail release record and court order |
| Time served or completion | Community unless another hold applies | Jail timestamp and judgment |
| Felony sentence transfer | Nevada state prison | Storey transfer record and NDOC |
| Other lawful hold | Receiving agency custody | Destination field and agency record |
Confirm Storey County Detention Center Releases
No official online roster, release archive, 24-hour list, 72-hour list, or photo gallery was found for this facility as of July 28, 2026. That does not mean the Sheriff keeps no custody records. It means confirmation starts with the detention desk and a specific records request rather than a public feed.
- Call 775-847-0929 and ask whether Storey County Detention Center still holds the person.
- Request the existing booking and release record for historical proof.
- Match the booking number, dates, release disposition, and destination if maintained.
- Use Justice Court for local misdemeanor, bail, and pretrial files or District Court for felony files.
- Follow a documented transfer through NDOC, BOP, ICE, or another named custodian.
An oral “not here” answer is current status, not a historical release certificate. Obtain the event record before deciding whether the person was released or transferred.

Storey County Detention Center Release Records
Use the Storey County public-record process and select the Sheriff or proper department. Identify the person, known aliases, approximate booking or custody range, and booking number if known. Ask for the existing booking and release record, not a custom report. Electronic delivery can be requested.
Name the fields needed: booking and release timestamps, release type or disposition, associated charge identifiers, receiving agency or destination if maintained, and booking photograph if disclosable. Avoid adding sensitive data that is not needed to locate the event. Redaction, confidentiality rules, and legal review may apply.
NRS 239.0107 provides Nevada's fifth-business-day response framework. The agency may produce the record, identify a known custodian, give written notice of delay with an estimated date, or deny access in writing with the confidentiality authority. Final production is not always due within five days. No sheriff-specific copy price or guaranteed local production time was published.
If the county asks for clarification, narrow the request with a booking number or date range instead of adding unrelated private details. If the county does not hold the record, ask it to identify the known custodian. Keep any estimated production date and written denial. A later, narrower request may resolve a dispute over fields that can be separated from confidential material.
| Requested field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Booking number | Ties the release to the right event |
| Release timestamp | Documents when Storey custody ended |
| Release disposition | Shows the agency's recorded exit type |
| Destination | Distinguishes community release from transfer |
| Associated charges | Connects the event to the correct case |
Storey County Detention Center Release Contacts
The detention line is the first source for present local custody. The physical address identifies the jail, while the Sheriff's main office has a separate address and number. The research did not verify special release-processing hours, so none should be inferred from general county office hours.
Storey County Detention Center911 State Route 341
Virginia City, NV 89440
Detention: 775-847-0929
Operator: Storey County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff main office is at 205 S. C Street, P.O. Box 498, Virginia City, NV 89440, and its main number is 775-847-0959. County general hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but the Sheriff page does not separately promise records-counter hours. Confirm access before visiting.
Storey Detention Center Release Facts
The county identifies this as its only adult jail and gives a capacity of 25 adults. It was built in 1992 and received a substantial renovation in 2011 using inmate labor. The facility holds local adult detainees. Convicted felons move to state prison or probation, while juveniles are housed through a facility in Carson City and are outside the adult lookup path.
The official current-facility page provides the sourced capacity, address, and history.
The official page confirms the operating facility and should be rechecked if county capital plans change the jail.
Storey Detention Center Release Court Records
A court file explains the legal basis for release but may not contain the exact time the person left. Virginia Township Justice Court handles local criminal and misdemeanor matters, bail, and many pretrial records. It is located at 800 South C Street in Virginia City and can be reached at 775-847-0962.
The First Judicial District Court handles felony and general-jurisdiction files. The Storey County Clerk is at 26 South B Street and can be reached at 775-847-0969. Court documents must be requested from the court, not the county's general request portal. Storey's “Search Records” feature is not a criminal-case search.
Compare the order time with the jail's release timestamp. Processing, a detainer, or placement review may separate the two. Keep all times in Pacific Time unless the source clearly says otherwise.
Storey County Detention Center Release Transfers
A person can disappear from Storey custody after a felony sentence and remain incarcerated. The Storey transfer record should identify the receiving agency if that field is maintained. The District Court judgment supplies the sentence. Then use the NDOC offender search and match the Offender ID and booking ID rather than relying on a name alone.
Later NDOC parole or discharge is a different release event. NDOC's public release data exposes offender_id, offender_book_id, release_date, and release_desc, but the portal calls its data raw and unofficial. A Board decision is not a gate date. NPP placement approval and other holds can delay physical release.
- County transfer
- The end of Storey jail custody and start of another agency's custody.
- Parole
- Release from prison under supervision, not the end of every legal restraint.
- Discharge
- The formal end of the sentence or supervision term.
- Detainer
- Authority or a request for another agency to hold or receive the person.
Storey County Detention Center Release Handoffs
ICE becomes relevant only when the Storey record, court file, or another reliable fact suggests an immigration handoff. No Storey County ICE detention facility or contract was verified. Do not infer an ICE transfer merely because a person is no longer at the county jail.
The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is mainly a present-detention locator. It can be searched with a nine-digit A-number and country of birth or with exact biographical details. It is not a historical released-person archive. A blank result may reflect release, transfer, spelling, timing, or a coverage limit and cannot establish a release date.
Storey County Detention Center Release Logistics
Official sources do not publish release-processing hours, weekend or holiday procedures, an exit door, property-return steps, a family waiting area, a transit stop, taxi or rideshare rules, bond-payment methods, a local good-time formula, a pay-to-stay fee, or a local bond schedule. Call detention before arranging a pickup or relying on a projected time.
The facility page lists visitation on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 2 to 5 p.m. Those hours concern current custody and are not a release service. They do not establish when release processing occurs. The jail's location on State Route 341 also makes unsupported transit directions especially risky.
For a local sentence, obtain the commitment or order, the jail's calculation, and the final release record. NDOC sentence-credit rules should not be applied to a county misdemeanor sentence because no verified Storey jail good-time formula was found.
Property return, transportation, and release time are practical questions, but they are not established by the public visitation page. Ask the detention desk which instructions apply to the specific event. A court may set the legal terms while jail staff complete the release process, so family plans should allow for the possibility that those steps do not end at the same time.
Storey Detention Center Release Facility Plans
The 2024 Storey County Master Plan describes the jail as built in the 1990s, needing major structural repair, and scheduled in the capital plan for rehabilitation or replacement by 2030. This is a dated plan, not proof that construction or replacement is complete. The county's more specific facility page supplies the 1992 build year and 2011 renovation.
A possible McCarran holding-cell concept mentioned in planning material was not an operating jail. It must not be treated as a second county facility or release source. Recheck the official Sheriff and facility pages if relying on this information after a capital project begins, since address, phone, and release procedures could change.
