Which system is holding them?
There is no single search that covers everyone in Humboldt County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.
If the arrest was recent
Start with the county jail
A recent arrest in Humboldt County almost always means the county jail listed above, run by the local sheriff — not a state prison. Check that jail’s roster or search the statewide custody locator; if the booking is only a few hours old, call the jail’s booking desk.
If they were sentenced to prison
Use the state prison locator
Once a person is sentenced, they move from the county jail into the Nevada Department of Corrections. Search the state inmate locator by name or ID — a county jail roster will not show a sentenced prisoner.
If the charge is federal
Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons
A federal charge means federal custody — a separate system from any Nevada county or state facility. Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator by name or register number.

If you need to bail them out in Nevada
Finding the person comes first. Once you know where they are being held, this is how getting them out works in Nevada.
Commercial bail available
In Nevada, commercial bail exists. If a judge sets money bail, it can be posted in cash directly with the court or through a licensed bail bond agent for a fee. A judge may also release the person on their own recognizance or on conditions, so ask the court or the jail what applies before paying anyone.
The person’s rights. The person in custody has the right to talk to a lawyer about their case, and if they cannot afford one, the court can appoint a public defender.
If there is also a warrant to deal with
Two companion guides pick up where this one leaves off — checking for a warrant, and resolving it on your own terms.
