Crescent Valley Custody Outcomes
April 6, 2022 Eureka County Commission minutes refer to a temporary holding facility in Crescent Valley. The discussion included review of its fitness for booking, housing, and processing. No independent public-facing facility name, roster, capacity, schedule, or standard release procedure was found. The accurate description is temporary holding, not a full-service public-roster jail.
A short stay can lead to several distinct outcomes. The Sheriff may release the person after processing, transport the person to Eureka, place the person with White Pine or Lander County, or send the person to another lawful custodian. An entry showing departure from Crescent Valley only establishes the end of custody at that location. It does not establish freedom from every hold.
| Last event | Record to seek | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Local release | Release or custody log | Sheriff processing ended custody. |
| Transport | Movement and destination entry | Custody continued elsewhere. |
| Court appearance | Court docket and order | The court authorized or reviewed the custody step. |
| Contract housing | Housing-jail admission record | White Pine, Lander, or another jail assumed custody. |
Confirm Crescent Valley Release
There is no official Crescent Valley custody search. No official Eureka roster or recent-release feed was found either. An online no-result can mean release, transfer, a spelling mismatch, a sealed record, or simply that the searched system never held the record. Call Eureka County Sheriff non-emergency dispatch at 775-237-5330 and ask for the actual booking and housing path.
- Give the full name and relevant date, plus a case number when known.
- Ask whether Crescent Valley was only the first holding point.
- Identify the destination and the agency that physically processed the final exit.
- Record the date of the call and the office that supplied the routing information.
- Submit a written request for the custody, movement, transport, and release fields.
- Compare the agency record with the proper Eureka court order.
The facility that released or transferred the person is usually the best source for the exact event time and destination. Eureka Sheriff may retain the local arrest, transport, and case identifiers even when another county holds the later admission or discharge. If the last event was commitment to Nevada state prison, check NDOC after allowing for intake and data lag.
Absence from a local search is not release proof. Crescent Valley has no documented public custody-search system.
Crescent Valley Record Requests
The Eureka County Sheriff Records unit accepts a completed form by email, mail, or in person. The form requests the requester’s contact information, the record type, event date and place, people involved, a case number if known, and the preferred delivery method. Reports, documents, and pictures may require approval and a fee quote.
Eureka County Sheriff’s Office

Ask for the booking or intake record, custody log, all movement and transport entries, release date and time, release description and code definition, and the destination or receiving agency. If another jail holds the responsive document, ask ECSO to name that custodian. A narrow request is easier to route than a demand for every file connected to a person.
The newer county schedule beginning in 2026 differs from older hours still shown on the Records page. Current general information lists Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., a lunch closure from 12:30 to 1:00 p.m., and Friday closure. Call before an in-person trip.
Crescent Valley Release Fields
The most useful record is not always labeled “release.” With short-term processing, a custody movement or transport log may carry the decisive fact. Ask the custodian to explain abbreviations and distinguish the location a person left from the destination that received the person.
- Custody entry
- The operational record of when an agency took control of a person.
- Release entry
- The point when that agency’s custody ended, either into the community or to another custodian.
- Receiving agency
- The sheriff, jail, prison, or federal body that next assumed custody.
- Detainer
- A legal basis or request for another agency to take custody when the current hold ends.
Request the booking date and time, agency or booking number, court or case number, release date and time, release description, and destination. A court order may show bail, dismissal, time served, or another disposition, but it does not prove the minute staff completed the exit. Pair the order with the movement log.
Nevada’s public-records law provides a fifth-business-day response framework. The custodian may produce the record, deny access with legal authority, state that it lacks the record, or provide a written estimate. Confidentiality, active matters, and sealing can limit access.
Why Eureka Custody Moves
The temporary location belongs within a wider county detention history. The official Eureka detention page dates the Justice Facility to 1989. A 2021 Sheriff budget request described aging conditions and HVAC limits while asking for assessment of renovation or replacement. Later county documents record use of White Pine and Lander jails. Those facts show why a static directory cannot identify the custodian on a particular day.
Local reporting in 2026 discussed eventual operation of a local jail and the cost of outside housing. That reporting supplies context only. It cannot establish an individual’s status. Contracts, available space, and operations may change, so use current Sheriff routing and the record from the agency that actually handled the person.
The 2022 commission minutes are the official basis for describing the Crescent Valley location. They do not support an invented capacity, public name, visiting schedule, release hour, phone number, or transportation service.
Crescent Valley Court Checks
Eureka Justice Court handles misdemeanor cases, preliminary hearings, and pretrial custody matters. The Beowawe Department is located at 5041 Tenabo Avenue in Crescent Valley and is listed for the third Thursday each month from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., subject to change. The Eureka Department maintains its own contact route at 775-237-5540.
Felony and gross-misdemeanor disposition after bind-over belongs to the Seventh Judicial District Court clerk. Ask for a docket, bail or release order, judgment, dismissal, or prison commitment. If an order sent the person to NDOC, the move out of county custody is a transfer, not a return to the community.
The Eureka County release record path sets out the broader court and custody checks. A public no-result may also reflect a lawful sealing order. Nevada uses record sealing rather than a broad expungement label, and sealed material should not be inferred from missing public data.
Crescent Valley and State Custody
NDOC applies only after a Nevada court commits someone to state prison. It is not the search for a person who had only temporary or county-jail custody. A county log may call the handoff a release because the Sheriff’s custody ended. Check the destination field before interpreting that word.
For a state commitment, search NDOC by Offender ID where possible, then compare identifying details and the current institution or status. The statewide portal is raw data and may lag or contain errors. Use an official Offender Management Division record when proof matters. Federal and immigration tools answer different custody questions and should not be searched without a federal or ICE link in the case.
