Lander County Detention Center Overview

Lander County Detention Center is operated by the Lander County Sheriff's Office. The facility map lists it as the one local detention facility found for the county, with no separate city jail, regional jail, state prison, BOP facility, or ICE detention center physically identified in official Lander County sources. It is written as a county jail page because the official roster text says people held in the facility include both pre-trial and post-trial offenders.

The sheriff's address is 2 State Route 305, Battle Mountain, Nevada 89820. The sheriff site also publishes a mailing address of P.O. Box 1625, Battle Mountain, Nevada 89820. Detentions is listed at 775-635-1489, dispatch at 775-635-5161, and administration at 775-635-1100. The Austin/Kingston sheriff substation is not treated as a jail because the research did not identify it as an overnight inmate-holding facility.

Lander Detention Population

No official rated capacity was located for Lander County Detention Center. The research did locate one historical jail-population figure: a Prison Policy Initiative table drawing from BJS Census of Jail Facilities data lists "Lander Co. Jail" with 10 local prisoners on December 31, 2013. That is historical population context only. It is not a current count, a current average daily population, or a rated bed capacity.

The Lander County inmate population hub explains why current county jail counts, older historical counts, and state prison counts should not be mixed together.

Lookup Lander Detention Inmates

The correct online lookup for this county jail is the Citizen RIMS incarcerated-people roster. That roster is linked from the Lander County Sheriff's Office site and is the public custody channel for the detention center. If a person has moved to state prison after sentencing, use NDOC instead of the county roster.

1. Open the official Citizen RIMS incarcerated-people roster.
2. Search by last name first, then add a first name if needed.
3. Read a match as current custody information, not proof of conviction.
4. Call detentions at 775-635-1489 if the arrest is very recent or the record is missing.
5. Use NDOC, BOP, ICE, or Nevada VINE if custody has moved outside the county jail.

Always use the live roster or detentions phone line for current custody, since screenshots can become stale as bookings and releases change.

Lander Detention Address

The jail information line is the safest contact point before visiting, mailing anything, posting bond, or sending money. Official online pages did not publish a public lobby schedule or visitor entrance instructions, so call before traveling to the Battle Mountain facility.

Lander Detention Visitation

The sheriff publishes an Inmate Visitation page, but the accessible text captured during research did not list a schedule, visitor ID rules, dress code, locker rules, child-visitor rules, or video-visit vendor. The page should therefore not imply open walk-in visits or fixed hours. Detentions should confirm the current schedule, eligibility, entrance, and required ID before anyone drives to the jail.

Mail Money and Bond

The sheriff site has pages for Contacting Inmates, Inmate Funds, and Bail & Bonds. The research did not locate a mail format, phone provider, commissary vendor, deposit fee, kiosk location, or bond payment method in accessible text. Do not add a vendor name unless an official Lander County source confirms it.

Lander Detention Booking

Official sources did not publish a Lander-specific intake policy. A local arrest may lead to booking at the detention center, with identity confirmation, search, property inventory, fingerprints, a booking photograph, health and safety screening, classification, and housing assignment. The public roster may not update at the exact time booking begins.

After booking, Nevada law requires an arrested person to be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay under NRS 171.178. Lander cases may route to Argenta Justice Court, Austin Justice Court, or the 11th Judicial District Court depending on the charge and case stage.

Lander Detention Public Records

For records not visible on the roster, use the sheriff's Public Records or Reports channels. Nevada public-records law starts from access, but some jail records may be confidential, redacted, sealed, juvenile, medical, victim-related, investigative, or safety-sensitive. Ask for the exact record, date range, name, and case or booking details when known.
