Mineral County Detention Facility Overview
Mineral County Detention Facility is treated in the research as the local adult detention function of the Mineral County Sheriff's Office. The official county materials place the sheriff at 105 S. A Street, Suite 4, Hawthorne, with Sheriff Bill Ferguson listed as the sheriff and (775) 945-2434 as the main contact. No separate jail department page, city lockup, work-release annex, or jail-specific public roster page was located.
The facility should be described as a county jail, not a prison. It holds people arrested in Mineral County before release, bond, transfer, first appearance, or case disposition. It may also hold local misdemeanor sentences or outside-agency holds, but those statuses must be confirmed with the jail. The county did not publish custody levels, pod names, housing-unit labels, booking-desk hours, or a public current-population dashboard in the sources reviewed.
Local custody point: Mineral County Detention Facility covers the county jail stage. NDOC, BOP, USMS, and ICE searches cover different custody systems after sentencing, federal action, or immigration detention.
Mineral County Detention Facility Population
The official county and sheriff pages reviewed did not publish the facility's current jail population, rated bed capacity, housing units, or average length of stay. The only sourced facility-level number located was historical: the Prison Policy Initiative table, using Bureau of Justice Statistics Census of Jail Facilities data, lists Mineral Co. Det. Fac. with 21 prisoners for 2013 local-jail average daily population. That figure is a historical jail-population marker, not a current capacity or live head count.
| Population item | Located figure | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Historical local jail ADP | 21 prisoners | 2013 PPI/BJS-derived figure for Mineral Co. Det. Fac. |
| Current daily jail count | Not published | Call the jail or request a record for a specific date |
| Rated bed capacity | Not published | Do not infer capacity from the historical ADP number |
Lookup Mineral County Facility Inmates
No official online roster for Mineral County Detention Facility was located on the county or sheriff website. The correct local lookup is therefore a direct-contact process. Call first for current custody. Use the sheriff public-records process for booking records, older records, or a booking photo request. Use Nevada S.A.V.E. for custody notification help. Use NDOC, BOP, USMS, or ICE only when the person may be outside local county jail custody.
- Call the Mineral County Sheriff's Office / detention facility at (775) 945-2434 with the person's full legal name, date of birth or age, arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
- Ask whether the person is currently held at Mineral County Detention Facility, has been released, has a bond amount, awaits a first appearance, or was transferred.
- For booking records or a booking photo, submit the sheriff public records request form or email publicrecords@mineralcountynv.org.
- Search Nevada S.A.V.E. for custody notification assistance when the jail roster is unavailable or offline support is needed.
- If the person was sentenced to prison, search NDOC instead of treating the county jail as the current custodian.

Visit Mineral County Detention Facility
Official Mineral County jail visitation rules were not located in the researched county pages. No schedule, video-visit vendor, visitor ID rule, dress code, attorney-visit procedure, holiday rule, or visitor-entry instruction was published in the materials reviewed. That gap should stay visible. Do not assume that county office hours are the same as jail visitation hours, because detention operations can follow different rules.
| Visit type | Schedule | Source notes |
|---|---|---|
| In-person jail visit | Not published in official sources located | Call (775) 945-2434 before travel |
| Video visit | Not published | No official video vendor located |
| Attorney or professional visit | Not published | Attorneys should call the sheriff or jail directly |
| Holiday or emergency rules | Not published | County offices are closed Fridays, but jail operations may differ |
Note: Confirm the visit route, entry point, and current custody status with the jail before driving to Hawthorne.
Mineral County Facility Mail and Money
The research did not locate an official jail mail policy, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, phone vendor, tablet provider, deposit fee schedule, or inmate address format for Mineral County Detention Facility. Do not send money, property, books, photos, or legal mail based on a generic jail rule. Call the sheriff or jail first and ask for the current process for the person in custody.
| Service | Published local detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Personal mail | Address format not published | Call before mailing |
| Commissary deposit | Vendor and fees not published | Confirm with jail staff |
| Phone or video account | Provider not published | Ask whether a provider is used |
| Bond payment | Jail payment methods not published | Confirm with jail and the controlling court |
NDOC rules should not be applied to county inmates. NDOC uses separate prison phone, tablet, and banking systems for sentenced state prisoners after transfer.
Mineral County Booking and Intake
Mineral County does not publish a detailed booking process page, so the confirmed local facts are limited. The sheriff handles local law enforcement and detention, the main phone line is (775) 945-2434, and public records requests can be submitted by form or email. A typical local intake starts with arrest or surrender, transport to sheriff-run custody in Hawthorne unless another route applies, identity checks, property handling, search, fingerprints, booking photo, screening, and court routing.
Booking charges are not always final court charges. The sheriff records the arrest and intake event. The District Attorney reviews reports and may file a complaint, information, or indictment depending on the case. The Justice Court or District Court then becomes the better source for filed charges, charge amendments, dispositions, sentencing orders, and warrants tied to a court case.
- Booking
- Administrative jail intake after arrest.
- First appearance
- An early court hearing where release, rights, and next steps may be addressed.
- Detainer or hold
- A request or legal basis for another agency to keep custody or receive notice before release.
- Classification
- A jail process for assigning custody level and housing. Mineral County public unit labels were not located.

When Mineral County Jail Is Not Enough
Mineral County Detention Facility is only one custody stage. A person may be released, transferred to NDOC after sentence, held for federal court, or placed in immigration custody. NDOC controls prison classification, transfer, visitation approval, phone rules, and banking after a state sentence. BOP covers sentenced federal prisoners from 1982 forward. U.S. Marshals may be the better contact for federal pretrial custody. ICE uses its own locator and is not a mugshot source.

About Mineral County Detention Facility
No official jail program page was located for education, treatment, work release, reentry, grievance procedures, accreditation, PREA, or medical request forms. The sheriff materials focus on department contacts, records requests, public forms, fingerprinting, community information, and general sheriff services. For inmate medical, mental-health, grievance, visit, mail, or property questions, call the jail and ask for the appropriate detention supervisor or records contact.
Note: The facility's online record is sparse, so current custody, visit, mail, money, and release details should be confirmed by phone.
