NDOC Releases for Mineral County
A felony sentence from Mineral County can move a person from the Sheriff-operated detention center into Nevada’s statewide prison system. The Mineral County ledger should describe that county departure as a transfer or commitment, not community release. NDOC then controls classification, placement, sentence computation, prison release, and the state discharge record. Since no NDOC adult institution was identified inside Mineral County, a committing-county entry marked MINERAL may appear for someone housed in another part of Nevada.
Leaving a particular prison does not always mean leaving NDOC custody. The person may transfer between institutions, enter residential confinement, be paroled, or complete a sentence. “Parole” means release from prison under supervision and conditions. “Discharged” generally marks the end of the relevant custody or supervision obligation. Read the exact public status and release description instead of treating every location change as release.
Confirm an NDOC Release
The official NDOC Offender Search supports an Offender ID search and a demographic name search. Use the NDOC number when known. First- and last-name fields accept a percent sign as a wildcard, but broad searches display only the first 20 matches. Narrow the name or obtain the ID from a Mineral County court commitment when the intended record does not appear.
- Enter the NDOC Offender ID, or use the full name and careful identity details.
- Compare the result’s ID, first, middle, and last names, gender, and institution field.
- Open the person’s details and record the exact status, sentence rows, dates, and release description.
- Distinguish an active prison location, PAROLE, residential confinement, and INACTIVE-DSCHREL.
- Request an official NDOC record when the public data is unclear or formal proof is needed.
The portal displays an “Up to date as of” date. That stamp identifies the data extract, not the precise time every agency event was entered. NDOC also describes the web material as informational raw data and does not warrant that it is error-free. A projected date that has passed is not enough to establish release.
For the complete route from a local booking into state custody, the Mineral County released inmates search explains how the Sheriff record and state record connect.
Note: Search by NDOC ID when possible because common names and the portal’s 20-result limit can hide the correct person.
NDOC Release Search Fields
A released or discharged person may remain searchable. Observed public values include PAROLE for a person released from prison under supervision and INACTIVE-DSCHREL as a lead to completed release or discharge. The detail record may also show a photograph, demographics, sentence status, and sentence rows. Use NDOC’s labels as shown. Do not expand abbreviations from memory.
| Field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Offender ID | Primary NDOC identifier for a precise match and records request. |
| Institution or location | Current public placement or status category, not a Mineral County jail location. |
| Sentence status | Shows the state’s label, such as active or discharged, for a sentence row. |
| Sent. County | Can identify MINERAL as the committing county while the person is housed elsewhere. |
| Sent. PEXD | Projected expiration date that may change as NDOC recalculates credits. |
| Release date and description | Links the state release row to wording such as release for discharge. |
NDOC also publishes tab-delimited demographic, alias, booking, parole, and release datasets. The release data fields are offender ID, offender book ID, release date, and release description. These files document state-prison history. They are not Mineral County 24-hour or 72-hour jail feeds, and a county-only booking will not appear merely because it occurred in Nevada.
NDOC Discharge Records and Contacts
Family Services handles questions about offender information at (775) 977-5707. Initial offender-information requests may be sent to omdrecords@doc.nv.gov, attention Offender Management Division, Nevada Department of Corrections, P.O. Box 7011, Carson City, NV 89702. The public-record channel is the Public Information Office at (775) 977-5649, publicrecords@doc.nv.gov, 5500 Snyder Avenue, Carson City, NV 89701.

A focused request should give the full name, NDOC number, date of birth when needed to separate identities, Mineral as the committing county, and an approximate release year. Ask for the release or discharge entry, sentence summary, time-computation fields, release description, and offender photograph as separate items. If parole applies, identify whether the request concerns the Board decision, physical prison release transaction, or later discharge from supervision. Those are distinct records.
NDOC Record Fees and Inspection
NDOC’s form allows paper, electronic, certified-copy, or in-person inspection requests. The Department follows Nevada’s Chapter 239 process, which calls for a response within five business days by providing access, explaining lack of custody or unavailability, citing a denial, or giving an expected access date. That is a response framework, not a promise that every file will be produced within five days.
The official NDOC records and fees page shows the current request routes and cost terms.
This captured official page is the proper fee source for an NDOC discharge request, not the Mineral County Sheriff’s separate county fee schedule.
| Item | Published NDOC term |
|---|---|
| General paper copy | 15 cents per page |
| Electronic media | Charged at cost |
| CD or DVD for audio/video | $5 |
| Estimate | Provided when expected cost exceeds $25 |
| Prepared-record hold | 30 days |
| Inspection hours | Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., subject to confirmation |
Extra personnel or technology work and shipping can create other lawful costs, and advance payment may be required. Ask for an estimate. These NDOC prices do not govern Mineral County Sheriff records.
Note: State and county custodians keep different records and fee schedules, even when both files concern the same person.
NDOC Dates and Parole Decisions
PEXD means projected expiration date in NDOC’s Family Services guidance. It can move forward or backward as credits are earned, lost, restored, or recalculated. Parole eligibility is a separate point. Eligibility allows Board review but does not guarantee a grant. A grant also does not prove immediate physical release because plan approval, holds, other sentences, or administrative steps may intervene.
The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners publishes hearing schedules and Monthly Parole Board Actions. Results can include Grant Parole, Deny Parole, Grant MPR, Deny MPR, No Action, Continue on Parole, revocation outcomes, or Grant Early Discharge. The committing-county column can identify MINERAL even when the institution lies elsewhere. An effective date is more useful than the hearing date, but the NDOC release row remains the better public clue to actual state release.
Nevada also separates the parole decision from field supervision. The Board decides parole matters, while Nevada State Police Parole and Probation handles supervision and violation or warrant questions. Mineral County falls within Northern Command, but the official contact material does not assign every county case to one named field office. Contact Northern Command at (775) 684-2600 to identify the correct office. Do not assume the geographically convenient Fallon office owns the case. A person’s absence from a public wanted-fugitives page does not prove discharge, so seek the Board action and supervision or NDOC record.
- Parole
- Release from prison while the sentence continues under supervision.
- Discharge
- The end of the stated sentence or supervision obligation shown by the issuing record.
- PEXD
- NDOC’s projected expiration date, subject to recalculation.
- Residential confinement
- Legal custody outside a prison institution, not unconditional discharge.
Nevada Credits Affect NDOC Release
NRS 209.4465 governs many credits for covered crimes committed on or after July 17, 1997 and before July 1, 2027. The statute includes detailed eligibility limits and different treatment of minimum and maximum terms. It cannot be reduced to a rule that every person serves a fixed percentage. NRS 213.120 governs parole eligibility, and presentence confinement credit may also matter under NRS 176.055.
Some qualifying orderly offenders can receive 20 days of deduction for each month in specified custody, while other provisions address work, study, education, programs, or meritorious service. Exclusions and caps can prevent a headline credit from reducing a minimum term. Credits can also be forfeited or restored. NDOC performs the computation, so request its time-computation record rather than applying simple arithmetic.
Provisions displayed as effective July 1, 2027, including NRS 209.4467, were not current on the research date. A future page update requires a fresh statutory review. It is not sound to change only the date while keeping the 2026 explanation.
Mineral County Custody Before NDOC
Walker River Tribal Police is a separate agency within Mineral County geography. A Schurz-area arrest may pass through tribal, county, state, or federal custody. Identify the arresting agency, physical jail, court, and receiving sovereign before using the NDOC search. A tribal arrest does not itself create an NDOC record.
If the Mineral County Sheriff ledger says transferred to NDOC, the statewide search is appropriate. If it names a tribal, federal, immigration, or another county custodian, follow that system instead. This custody-chain check keeps a state-prison discharge from being confused with a county jail release.
