Pershing County Release Meanings
“Released” does not have one fixed meaning in Pershing County. At the Pershing County Jail, it may mean release on bond, release on one’s own recognizance, dismissal, time served, completion of a local sentence, or another court-authorized exit. It may also mean that the Sheriff gave custody to NDOC, another jail, ICE, the U.S. Marshals Service, or another authority. That last group remains in custody. A useful check therefore asks two questions: did Pershing County custody end, and did the person enter the community or move to another custodian?
Lovelock Correctional Center is a separate state prison in the same city. NDOC keeps its offender and release records. The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners makes parole decisions, while the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation, or NPP, approves plans and supervises parolees. A Board grant alone does not prove that a person walked out. Placement approval and NDOC release processing must also occur.
| Release or movement | What it means | Best next record |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or own recognizance | The local jail hold ended while the court case may continue. | Sheriff movement entry and court bail order |
| Time served or sentence completion | A sentence-based county release occurred. | Release entry, judgment, and credit calculation |
| Probation | The court ordered community supervision instead of, or after, confinement. | Sentencing and probation orders |
| Parole | Conditional release from state prison began under NPP supervision. | Board action, approved plan, and NDOC release row |
| Transfer | Pershing custody ended, but another agency took custody. | Movement log and receiving-agency record |
| Discharge | A term of custody or supervision ended as the source record states. | NDOC release data or formal discharge order |
Pershing County Release Record Fields
There is no single universal release certificate. A strong local result pairs the Sheriff’s booking and movement data with the court act that caused the release. Ask for the booked person’s identity, booking number, booking date and time, arresting agency, charges at booking, release date and time, release disposition, and any receiving agency. The disposition is vital. “Bond,” “time served,” and “transfer to NDOC” describe very different outcomes.
State-prison records use another set of fields. NDOC’s downloadable Release table connects an offender ID and booking ID with `release_date` and `release_desc`. Its Demographic, Booking, Parole, and Release files can be joined by those IDs. A name is not enough because more than one person may share it, and one person may have several bookings.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Full name and aliases | The identity recorded by the jail or NDOC, including other known spellings. |
| Booking or offender ID | The key used to match entries without relying on name alone. |
| Booking date and time | When the custody episode began in that system. |
| Release date and time | When the agency recorded the movement out of its custody. |
| Release disposition | Bond, court order, time served, discharge, parole, transfer, or another stated reason. |
| Receiving agency | Whether another jail, NDOC, or a federal authority took custody. |
| Court order or judgment | The legal action behind release, sentence, probation, dismissal, or revocation. |
An order date, parole eligibility date, projected expiration date, approved parole date, and physical release date are not the same. Preserve each source label. If dates conflict, report which office issued each date instead of choosing one without support.
Request Pershing County Release Records
The Pershing County Sheriff public-record request form accepts requests for paper, electronic, or certified copies, as well as inspection. Send it to the Public Records Officer at P.O. Box 147, Lovelock, NV 89419. The physical office is 395 9th Street, and the phone is (775) 273-2641. The form dates from 2022, so confirm delivery details first.
- Give the full name, prior spellings, date of birth if known, and booking or incident number.
- State the approximate booking and release dates. For a recent window, give exact start and end times in Pacific Time.
- Ask for the booking sheet, release or movement log, release date and time, disposition, transfer destination, held court order, property receipt, and booking photo.
- Request electronic copies when suitable. If a field is withheld, ask for the nonconfidential remainder and the legal basis for the redaction.
Under NRS 239.0107, a government office generally must respond by the end of the fifth business day by providing access, denying with legal authority, saying it lacks the record, or giving an expected availability date. That is a response deadline, not a promise that all copying will finish in five days. Copy charges generally reflect actual cost under NRS 239.052, while extraordinary personnel or technology use may be charged after notice under NRS 239.055.
Pershing Release Orders and Sealing
Jail records show movement. Court files explain the legal cause. Lake Township Justice Court handles misdemeanors and the early stages of many felony and gross-misdemeanor cases. Felony judgment and sentencing proceed in the Eleventh Judicial District Court. A case can therefore have records in both courts. No unified public Pershing trial-court name portal was confirmed.
Ask the right clerk for the docket, bail or release order, judgment, sentence, time-served credit, probation order, dismissal, revocation, and discharge entry. A court order may authorize release before the jail completes physical processing. Conversely, leaving jail on bond does not dismiss the charge. Pair the order with the Sheriff’s movement record when the actual release moment matters.
Nevada generally uses record sealing, not expungement. NRS 179.2405 through 179.301 governs eligibility and effect. Waiting periods can run from release from actual custody or discharge from parole or probation, whichever comes later. Eligibility varies by offense and outcome. A sealing order can restrict public access, but it should not be described as proof that every copy vanished at once.
Which Pershing Release Court?
A Pershing County release search can cross two local courts. Contact Lake Township Justice Court at 400 Main Street in Lovelock or (775) 273-2753 for lower-level matters and early felony proceedings. For District Court records, the Pershing County Clerk’s Office is at the same street address and can be reached at (775) 273-2410 extension 1322.
The court contact page shown below is the official access fallback when no public local name search is available.
The Nevada Supreme Court case portal covers appeals, not all Pershing trial cases. The County Recorder’s EagleWeb is for recorded documents and is not a criminal release search. Select the court by charge level and case history, then reconcile its order with the jail record.
Pershing Release Fees and Custody
Pershing County Code describes possible incarceration-cost reimbursement, reports concerning a discharged person’s ability to pay, and some work-exchange or intermittent-sentence fees subject to ability to pay. These are administrative duties. They do not prove that a person remains jailed after a recorded discharge, nor do they replace the release disposition.
Ask for release facts separately from private financial detail. The most useful fields are the date, time, type of release, and destination or receiving agency. If a monthly discharged-inmate report is sought, request segregable release fields rather than unrelated personal financial material. County obligations after release and custody status answer different questions.
Outside Is Not Pershing Discharge
Pershing’s code distinguishes final discharge from time spent outside the jail under a structured program. Regular work or education release, trustee work, work exchange, and possible electronic supervision may place someone beyond the building while the sentence or custody status continues. Pretrial electronic supervision does not earn time-served credit under the local policy.
Do not infer discharge from physical location alone. Ask whether the person remains booked, is serving an intermittent sentence, is on pretrial electronic supervision, or has a final release entry. The judgment and individual credit ledger can resolve sentence questions. This distinction is especially important when a family member sees someone in the community but cannot tell whether the case or sentence has ended.
Find Pershing County Released Inmates
Begin with custody type. Pershing County Jail covers local arrests, pretrial holds, and local sentences. Lovelock Correctional Center is an NDOC state prison. Federal custody and civil immigration detention have separate systems. “Lovelock inmate” is too vague because both local and state facilities have Lovelock addresses.
- Record the full name, middle name, aliases, birth date or age, and any booking, offender, or federal ID.
- For the county jail, call the Sheriff and request the release or movement entry. Ask community release versus transfer.
- For state prison, use the NDOC offender search and match the Offender ID across its Release, Booking, Demographic, and Parole files.
- Check Nevada S.A.V.E. for custody or supervision and notifications, then confirm with the source agency.
- Obtain the proper Pershing court disposition. Use BOP, ICE, or the federal docket only when that custody type fits.
Save the system searched, query used, and date. “Not in NDOC” does not rule out a county arrest. “Not in BOP custody” does not answer state custody. A no-result screen has meaning only within that system’s coverage.
NDOC Pershing Release Search
Use the Nevada Department of Corrections Offender Search for a person sentenced to Nevada state prison. Search by Offender ID when known. Otherwise, enter first and last name; the form identifies `%` as a wildcard. Compare approximate age, aliases, physical details, sentence county, and ID across all plausible matches.
The official search screen below shows the actual NDOC inputs used for a Pershing County state-prison release lookup.
A tested discharged result displayed `INACTIVE-DSCHREL` in the Institution field. It also lacked booking, photo, and parole-hearing detail. That status is a useful inactive or discharged clue, but the Release CSV gives the stronger public history through `release_date` and `release_desc`. NDOC calls the portal raw data and does not warrant it as error free, so request the underlying offender record when formal confirmation is needed.
- Discharge
- An end of custody or supervision documented by the agency’s record.
- Parole
- Conditional community release from prison under NPP supervision.
- Probation
- Court-ordered supervision that does not itself mean state-prison release.
- Time served
- A sentence outcome crediting time already spent in custody.
- Detainer
- A request or hold tied to another agency that can prevent community release.
Pershing Release Alerts Use SAVE
Nevada retired VINE and VINELink on August 29, 2025. The current service is Nevada S.A.V.E.. Search a specific person by full name, the first three letters of each name, or ID, then complete the CAPTCHA and compare identifiers. The system may show custody or supervision and the source agency. It is periodically updated and is not a certified discharge record.
The official Nevada S.A.V.E. screen below is the current search and notification route for Pershing County records.
S.A.V.E. warns that people no longer in custody may not appear. A missing result is therefore inconclusive. A supervised person may remain visible after physical release. As of July 28, 2026, account creation was temporarily unavailable, though search and any offered guest path could still be checked. For urgent help, call (866) 393-5445. Historical advice about a VINE PIN does not describe the current system.
Pershing Release Lookup by Custody
The right result depends on who held the person. Current rosters answer current custody. Release and movement records answer what happened when that custody episode ended. Court files explain the legal action, while supervision records address authority that can continue in the community.
| Situation | Where to look | What the result can prove |
|---|---|---|
| Pershing jail, still held | Sheriff contact or live app module | Current local custody, subject to update lag |
| Pershing jail, released or moved | Sheriff release log and proper court | Date, disposition, and possible destination |
| Nevada state prison | NDOC search and downloadable files | Active or inactive status and recorded state release |
| Parole or probation | NPP and court or Board documents | Supervision status or official action |
| Federal sentence | BOP Inmate Locator and federal docket | BOP custody or historical release date |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS and ERO | Some current or recent ICE custody |
Does a missing roster name prove release? No. It may reflect transfer, a spelling issue, or a delayed update. Confirm the disposition and receiving agency.
Federal Pershing Release Records
The BOP Inmate Locator covers federal inmates from 1982 forward. It accepts a federal register number or a name search with optional identity filters. Results can show a release date and location. “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody” means BOP does not currently hold the person, but another jurisdiction or federal supervision may still apply.
The official BOP result format pictured below illustrates how federal release data differs from a county or NDOC record.
For civil immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. A county entry that says “released to ICE” describes a transfer, not return to the community. The U.S. Marshals Service has no comparable public historical locator for federal pretrial custody, so the federal docket, counsel, the holding facility, and the relevant USMS office form the verification path.
LCC Release ID and Travel
State law gives an LCC discharge a logistics path that should not be assigned to the county jail. Under NRS 209.511, NDOC release preparation can include a requested or needed photo ID, reasonable DMV assistance, suitable clothing, transportation cost to a residence within the continental United States or the place of conviction, prescribed medication, and possible funds based on need.
Nevada DMV Form 013 describes documents for a person released from prison within 90 days and a fee-waiver request. These are state-prison supports, not proof of a Pershing Sheriff policy. They also do not establish the actual discharge date. Verify that date in NDOC release data and, for parole, through the approved placement and NPP process.
LCC Release and Reentry Programs
Lovelock Correctional Center materials identify RESPECT as a reentry program and Coal Canyon High School with the Pershing County School District as an education provider. State meeting records also describe reentry resource fairs and community-living work. These facts can help someone ask LCC or NDOC which resources apply to an individual release plan.
Participation and outcomes are not guaranteed. The Nevada Board decides discretionary parole, NPP’s Pre-Release Unit reviews placement, and NDOC records the actual prison movement. A person may also enter residential confinement, living outside an institution while still an inmate under supervision. That status is not final discharge.
Two Pershing Release Systems
Lovelock has both a local law-enforcement facility and a major state prison. The Pershing County Jail at 395 9th Street handles local detention. Lovelock Correctional Center at 1200 Prison Road is an NDOC prison with an approximate budgeted capacity of 1,680. Shared city names do not make their records interchangeable.
The official LCC page shown below identifies the state facility and its NDOC role.
County release is verified through the Sheriff and local court. LCC release is verified through NDOC, the Parole Board, and NPP when parole applies. County Resolution 25-0505 states that the law-enforcement facility had been in continuous use since 1975 and created a fund toward a new detention facility. It does not prove that a replacement jail has opened.
- Pershing County Jail: local custody, release records, and transfer confirmation.
- Lovelock Correctional Center: NDOC prison discharge, parole, and transfer records.
Verify Pershing County Release Status
Use two independent records when possible. A Sheriff movement entry plus a court order can confirm a county release. An NDOC Release row plus NPP or Board documentation can confirm a state-prison transition. S.A.V.E. adds notification, but not a certified discharge. BOP and ICE answer only their own custody systems.
What if every search says no result? Record each query and date, then return to the custodian that most likely held the person. Ask for the release disposition and transfer destination. Absence from a roster is a lead, not proof of release to the community.
