White Pine County Jail Inmate Search

White Pine County Jail Overview

White Pine County Jail is operated by the White Pine County Sheriff's Office at 1785 Great Basin Boulevard in Ely. It is the county jail, not a state prison. Its population is made up of adults arrested in White Pine County, people booked on local warrants, defendants waiting for proceedings in Ely Justice Court or the Seventh Judicial District Court, people serving short local sentences, and temporary holds before release or transfer.

The county-published jail information is limited. The White Pine County Jail Information page links a visitor application and related sheriff resources, but it does not post a full inmate handbook, a mail rule page, a commissary page, a bond desk page, or a daily booking PDF. That means jail lookup questions often need a two-step approach: use the official online inmate search first, then call the jail information line or make a public-records request if the web search does not answer the question.

The jail sits in Ely near the county government and court cluster on Great Basin Boulevard. The sheriff's public office, jail contact point, and detention function are tied together at the same public-facing address, so the sheriff's office page is also a key source for basic contact details. For emergency matters, use 911. For ordinary custody questions, use the sheriff main number or the jail information line listed below.

White Pine County Jail Capacity and Population

White Pine County does not publish a current rated-capacity figure on the jail information page. The best located bed-count source in the research is a Prison Policy Initiative phone-rate appendix that lists White Pine County Jail as a 26-bed jail. Because that number does not come from the county's own jail page, it should be treated as a high-authority secondary source rather than a county-published capacity statement. A historical Prisoners of the Census table reported 17 local jail residents at White Pine County Jail on March 31, 2006.

No official county dashboard with current average daily population, annual bookings, length of stay, gender breakdown, race breakdown, pretrial percentage, or federal-hold count was located in the county material reviewed. When a current population number matters, the practical route is the county inmate search portal for current custody and the jail information line for confirmation.

How to Look Up an Inmate at White Pine County Jail

The county jail search channel is the public White Pine inmate search Power BI portal. This is the correct starting point for people in White Pine County Jail custody. Do not use the Nevada Department of Corrections locator for a new county arrest unless the person has already been sentenced and transferred to state custody.

1. Open the county Power BI inmate-search portal and allow the report interface to load.
2. Search with the person's name, using the most reliable spelling available from court papers, arrest information, or family contact.
3. Confirm that any result is connected to White Pine County Jail rather than a different custody system.
4. If the portal does not answer the question, call 775-283-JAIL (5245) before assuming the person is not in custody.

Static text from the Power BI page confirms the portal is an inmate-search portal and gives the jail information line. The research did not confirm whether every live result shows a mugshot, bond amount, housing unit, booking number, or charge list. Treat the portal as the first custody check, then verify sensitive details with the jail, the sheriff's office, or the court that issued the order.

The official Power BI portal is one of the clearest county-specific lookup sources. The screenshot source is that county search portal.

The portal is useful for current custody, but it should not be read as a complete court record. Booking charges may change after prosecutor review, and a person may be released, transferred, or held under another agency after the roster entry changes.

White Pine County Jail Address and Contact

Use the jail and sheriff contact details for current custody, visitor approval, and practical arrival questions. For older records, copies, or records that are not visible in the online search, White Pine County's Clerk public-records page explains the county process under Nevada's public-records law, and the county publishes a Public Record Request form.

Visiting Someone at White Pine County Jail

The county's main jail-specific visiting source is the White Pine County Sheriff's Department inmate visitor application linked from the jail information page. The form asks for the inmate name, relationship to the inmate, visitor name, date of birth, Social Security number, alias or maiden name, residence address, mailing address, phone numbers, and department-use approval. The form states that date of birth and Social Security number will not be provided to public access.

The application includes several practical limits that matter before a visitor drives to Ely. A visitor may visit only one inmate per visiting day, visitation may be canceled without notice, and visiting is described as a privilege that may be taken away from the inmate. The county pages reviewed did not publish a public visiting schedule, visit length, dress code, child-visitor rule, online scheduling link, video-visiting provider, locker rule, or attorney-visit procedure. Confirm the current schedule, ID requirement, entrance, and allowed property with the jail information line before traveling.

The county jail information page is the source that points visitors to the application.

The screenshot reflects how sparse the county's online jail detail is: the application is posted, but many day-of-visit rules must be confirmed directly.

Mail, Phone, Bond, and Money at White Pine County Jail

The county jail page does not publish a current mail-format rule, commissary vendor, deposit method, bond-payment method, kiosk location, online bond payment link, or fee schedule for jail deposits. Those details should be verified with the jail before sending funds or mailing property. The research located a Prison Policy Initiative phone-rate appendix listing White Pine County Jail as a Securus facility with 26 beds and $0.21 phone rates, but the county source reviewed did not independently publish a current phone contract page.

Bond and bail information is also not posted as a jail desk instruction page. In White Pine County, release may depend on a court order, a warrant status, a hold from another jurisdiction, a probation or parole hold, federal process, or a no-bond condition. The Ely Justice Court page provides criminal-case routing and lists court-related resources, while the Seventh Judicial District Court page explains felony and gross-misdemeanor record handling through the clerk. Do not treat a roster entry, if it lists bond information, as the final release authority.

Booking and Intake at White Pine County Jail

White Pine County does not publish a step-by-step booking manual, so intake should be described carefully. After a local arrest, jail intake commonly includes identity confirmation, search and property inventory, fingerprints, booking photo, medical or mental-health screening, warrant checks, entry of the arrest basis or booking charges, and classification for housing. The jail record is an administrative custody record. The prosecutor may later file different charges, amend charges, decline charges, or move the case into a different court stage.

Early criminal matters may route through Ely Justice Court, while felony and gross-misdemeanor cases are handled in the Seventh Judicial District Court. The county research did not locate a local trial-court online case-search portal for White Pine criminal cases. If a jail search shows custody but does not explain the court posture, check the relevant court or the district attorney's office rather than relying only on the booking entry.

About White Pine County Jail

White Pine County Jail is part of a rural eastern Nevada justice system centered in Ely. The current sheriff identified in the 2026 county directory is Scott Henriod. The jail's public online footprint is narrower than many larger county facilities, which makes the official access sequence important: county portal for current custody, jail information line for live questions, and public-records request for copies or older booking material.

The facility should be kept separate from Ely State Prison. Ely State Prison is also in White Pine County, but it is a Nevada Department of Corrections maximum-security prison for sentenced state offenders. A person arrested yesterday in White Pine County belongs in the county jail search first. A person sentenced to NDOC custody belongs in the state offender locator after transfer.
