Clark County Detention Center

She was rude and she sounded like she didn't care at all and it was sad that there are people like her working there and they are racist to.

I got tired of showering alone, they accompanied my needs during my stay here. Usually you have to pay over the top rates for this in las vegas. The view wasn’t the greatest but the company was fun. The bar was served from a tiolet that I at first thought was awkward but it got the job done after a week sober. The accommodation for the ride here was amazing, they picked me up from my bedroom and gave me a ride here, safety first, hands were restrained. Only complaint was my company… there seemed to be too many sketchy people, probably not a bad idea to background check your guests.

They take forever to release and to admit. Not a good place to be. But don’t drink and drive people.

While being processed here I had to sit in a chair for over 24 hours being sleep deprived. It shouldn’t take that long to process an inmate. And they once tried to tell me I couldn’t use two debt cards to post bail… I had to use one. You have a right to bail, nothing in law says you can only use 1 payment method! Please train your staff and update them in accordance with the right to bail. Oh, and to charge me twice with prostitute, lol. Ya, I beat both cases. Total corruption!

I have been here twice. This is a great place to learn a lesson. The entire place smells of feces. At one point in booking a bum pulled a spork out of his pocket and itched between his toes since he couldn’t use his hands due to the belly chain connected to handcuffs.
The officers walk around like they are the shit. Most of them are rude. Some are respectful. The food was amazing. Rice and beans. There was even a brownie on the tray.
I’m only giving three stars because after being smacked across the face by another inmate and pressing the emergency button the officers didn’t come for 30 minutes.
There is a lot of unsupervised time once booked. It is possible for you to be in there for speeding tickets and be in the same cell as someone who has committed a violent crime. Usually they don’t like the offender that isn’t going to be there long and they attack. Officers unresponsive to signals of emergency.
It’s nice to get out and be down town. Cheap eats right out the door.

I only went in to take care of a traffic ticket. They gave me a uniform and kept me for 2 days. The food is not the best and there’s no coffee. With the food they give you it’s no wonder the other patrons are passing some raunchy gas all day and night. The servers wear police uniforms and they’re really tough on visitors. So strange. Avoid this place if you can. At least they gave me a payment plan to take care of my ticket when I finally got out.

I rate it one star because of the parking fees are dumb unless you want to walk a mile or so but other than that on Sundays is best time to go it’s quick

Well this was my first time ever being incarcerated, so I was full surprises going from the bus full of hookers to the water coming from the attached toilet. The food was beyond disgusting, yeah the bread was soft but smelt like old dirt cat piss. But reason I’m leaving my review is to speak up for The Officers an staff they were all completely nice to me. And accomidating to their limit (Gave me pants) lol but not 1 cop or staff came off as rude only simply doing their JOB. I had complete curiosity of jail like yeah i can only hear so many stories. Experiencing it first hand was definitely different. Yea so maybe next time try being polite an quiet an understanding of where the whole staff come from. Seeing drunk, Addicts, prostitutes and Much more every single shift at their second home. (The staff does not control food quality or set up of the jail) =) it’s their job lighten up ;)

I visited this center 8÷28÷2015… the first thing I did was use the restroom… no locks and a window in it! No privacy here!..
If you are lacking health insurance, be sure to get the free TB test! Won’t cost you a thing! But if you happen to have a headache and request advil or Tylenol… no luck!
The staff is very rude, will yell at you, and won’t listen to your needs. They generally don’t care about their «guests.»
Once taken to your «room,» it is very cold and over crowded. Much like a youth hostile in a European country. Some return «guests» brought their own sweaters (I highly recommend). Toilet paper is lacking and if you are a female during «that time of the month,» good luck getting a tampon.
The food is inedible. Also served during odd hours. If you are not up at 3am, you will miss breakfast which is two pieces of wonder bread and a spork-​full of butter. Dinner is served at 3pm, much like an assisted living facility. It consisted of a few scraps of lettuce (they forgot the dressing) and green scalloped potatoes. All meals are served with brown water. The portions are smaller than a lean cuisine and seriously lacking in nutrition. I should have ordered the nutriloaf.
The wait for checkout is long and the bell boys are slow to return your items.
I will not be returning.

Just bailing someone out. The metro police on duty were super funny and friendly. Never expect much where people usually don’t respect the law of those who enforce it.

I’ve been in jails and prisons all over the world. And I can tell you that CCDC is truly on the same level as a jail in a Third World nation. Filthy, inedible food, hostile staff. Not enough support personnel and 1980’s phone system makes your stay 2 – 3 times as long as it would be elsewhere. Poor classification system results in high amount of assaults. Maybe Al Sharpton has a point about federalization of all law enforcement.

The whole fucking staff is loud and ghetto in this jail. They act more ghetto then all the hookers they have booked in jail LMFAO

Though I’ve voluntarily reached out to inmates through letters to talk about the Bible and life in general, it was quite a shock to me that my first visit to prison would be the old fashioned way. I had a warrant out for a traffic ticket I thought was taken care of about 7 years ago. Apparently my traffic lawyer didn’t do his job, as advertised. I don’t recommend those lawyers you see on TV and billboards btw; this can happen to anyone. Just pay your fine directly to the court. LVMPD entered my address wrong, as I received NO prior notice about any of this in the last 7 years (according to my officer). Tough luck!
Don’t ever come here. Customer service is poor, and accomodations and amenities are lacking. The staff will pretty much look at and treat you like abused, caged animals. Both the booking room and holding cell wait seem to take forever, and they won’t tell you how long you’ll be in. For all we know, the staff could be hanging out playing cards in the break room until they feel like letting you go – no matter how petty your offense was. From the moment I got pulled over to being released, the total time was around 21 hours.
The booking area reminds me of a chaotic DMV for cattle, if cattle knew how to drive. They will ask you if you have mental issues history. You may very well have by the time they let you out of this place. Both rooms smell TERRIBLE! Come here if you want to be friends with that drunk homeless guy you see on your way home from work.
I’d recommend skipping 2 meals… you should be OK, the average human body can go without food for 7 days. Who knows what kind of garbage they put in that garbage. Drink the flavored water they give you. It’s safer than their sink water, and it’s better than being dehydrated. If someone wants my food I’d give it to them. But it looks GROSS. The Imperial Palace buffet is 5 star compared to the menu here.
The holding cell is inhumane. The officers will taunt you by walking by with stacks of ID’s, but releasing just one person at a time. This may or may not be on purpose; I’d bet good money that they are doing it to humor themselves. There may be 15 to 20 inmates (who haven’t showered for days) in your room at any given time. They are crude, but somewhat nice and tolerable. Everyone just wants out. I’m not sure how often they sanitize this place. Possibly never. The floors are filthy, and the only reason you should sleep on it is because sitting down on the hard wooden bench all day is almost unbearable. Hopefully you do not have major back problems beforehand. At least add some Bibles in this place. The lights are kept on ²⁴⁄₇. That can’t be healthy for the human body. There is a difference between sending a message and just straight up brutality and torture.
I’ve heard some people stay there for 4+ days. I can pretty much guarantee you will become at least a little delusional if you are in there that long. They will then take you to another area, about 30 inmates in a room which could pass for a torture chamber in the 1800’s. One doorless restroom, no soap. Possibly no cameras. Then they will complete processing you in the Release room and you will be free to walk through the door, into the fine streets of downtown Las Vegas.
This is the side of Las Vegas, and the American justice system in general, that you never want to personally experience. Wrongfully accused? Try to get the best possible lawyer you can afford. Metro could care less if you are innocent or guilty. Kids, be safe, don’t drink and drive, and pay your tickets on time.

i stayed at this location last friday and i was very upset with the quality of the service there, they were very rude! they food was undercooked and they would not reheat anything after i explained to them the customers always right they put me in a padded room for 72 hours. Once i got removed from that cell they put me in population and it was like MMA tournament had to fight 15 mexicans for a bed to sleep on. After i knockedout 15 people i made bail and got released didnt even use the bed. i would not recommend staying there

I did a tour recently with a group of UNLV students because thankfully I’ve never been arrested and I wanted to know how the detention center operated. The CO that acted as our guide was super chill and pretty cool. The other personnel was actually pretty nice and we were able to tour different tanks and both towers and the high ops control tower. I must state that I’m rating the tour for educational purposes by no means the facility. It smells, it’s sad, and I’m no one to judge so let’s leave it at that. I’m not a fan of law enforcement personnel myself, specifically police officers, but the tour was pretty in-​depth educational, interesting, and scary if your wondering how a system like this operates.

jail sucks, worst food ever! Plus the people there stink and are mean… dont go, its not fun. Stay home instead, or take a taxi home, dont drink and drive!

I was here back in June. I have actually been into jails for visitations and for positive stuff talk to inmates help them etc. This was my first time in jail on the other side of the wall. My friends have been to jail my family members in other states and have told me stories. i have never experienced such nasty rude people who work there in my life.
They arrested me thinking i was somebody else and treated me like crap until they ran my background and realized i wasnt who they thought i was, then they were scared i was going to sue them for the way they treated me and how they let me have an asthma attack in the holding cell that smelled like urine, feces and garbage. The food was scraps and the nurses treated me like crap.
when i was arrested they of course took my 3 inhalers for my asthma and chronic bronchitis so they knew i was asthmatic and the cold and nerves as well as the 10 other people in the holding cell were banging on the doors watching my health decline rapidly and the officers not giving a FUCK saying SHES FINE until an officer saw me slumped over half coherent with a very weak pulse and my breathing VERY short.
Not to mention they had lost my papers in booking adding 10 hours to my stay.
This show Las Vegas Jailhouse makes me cringe every time it is on TV. I will never forget that night i spent in this jailhouse the nurses in pre-​booking are the most NASTY girls i have ever met, i kept my mouth shut and followed direction from everybody i didn’t make friends and i didn’t talk to anybody. I was very lucky to have 2 girls in my holding cell who were young mothers when my health started getting bad in there, but if i cared enough about the bullshit i endured that night after being booked for something horrendous and then realizing they had the wrong person after taking cell phone pictures of me and racial discriminating me, i would sue them, but id rather just forget about this HORRENDOUS establishment that should be shut down or sued for the way they treat innocent people or beat up people for no reason cuz they have authority issues.

I love this place!!! The food is great, it smells wonderful and the people you meet are awesome! The only downfall is my cellphone doesn’t work that well inside. If your lucky, you might even catch a celeb or two on a busy night!

I am not even gonna start with this place because it’s a fucking shit show

Vegas has better lodging than the county jail, but if the Las Vegas Metro Police have decided you won’t be able to book another room, you’ll probably end up spending at least 1 – 3 nights here before you get to see a judge and ask to be released.
While you’re here, the food will be awful, the bedding will be hard, the cells will likely be crowded, and the smell will be pretty bad. But a piece of advice: keep your mouth shut and bear it the best you can. Complaints will pretty much result in things getting worse. You lost most of your rights the minute you entered the jail — that’s just the way it is, so there’s not much point arguing about it. Argument will likely get you a restraint chair or a solitary cell.
And don’t bother arguing about how you are «innocent until proven guilty». While that is theoretically true in America, in a jail, you are controlled (like cattle) until you are proven innocent-​enough to be released.
That said, compared to east coast city jails, this place is pretty clean. You probably won’t walk out of here with a disease that no one in the western world has heard of in the last 100 years (Philly and NYC jails can’t say that). So be thankful for the smallest of favors while you are sitting here miserable.
Bottom line: this place sucks and it’s supposed to. The county wants to encourage you to never come back.

I stayed here on 8÷14÷10. Like the other review says, the food is AWFUL, the accommodations are CRAP, and the ambiance leaves MUCH to be desired.
What the other reviewer didn’t mention is that the staff is rude beyond belief, and will make you feel like less than a speck of fly shit on a piece of dog shit. No matter how polite you are, it will not serve you one bit… so I recommend venting your anger by voicing your complaints.
Once I voiced my complaints, I was immediately surrounded and attended to by a host of staffers, who led me away into a more private room, where my only company was two crackheads and a drunken barefooted prostitute. But these new accommodations pleased me even less than the old ones. Thankfully, all it took was 4 hours of inconsolable weeping before they upgraded my room to a larger shared suite.
This new room was similarly lacking in ambiance and décor, but at least the company was good. Say what you will about the CCDC’s amenities — the place is ALWAYS packed! And not with just the regular Vegas nightclub crowd, either; during my stay I met a fascinating array of prostitutes, strippers and crackheads. (OK, maybe it WAS the regular Vegas nightclub crowd, now that I think about it.)
The highlight of my experience was befriending a genial middle-​aged Asian stripper with a distinctive deformity whereby her hands were missing several fingers, so that they resembled lobster claws.
«You dancer?» she asked me.
«No,» I replied.
«Why no?! You so preeeeetty!»
«I’d LIKE to be a dancer,» I answered honestly; «I know the money’s great… but I’m the world’s WORST dancer, and I’d be laughed out of the club!»
«No honey; it eeeeeasy! I show you!»
And so it came to pass that I was the recipient of a lap dance in the holding tank of the CCDC by a lobster-​clawed middle-​aged Asian woman who had been arrested on charges of domestic violence (she beat up her husband, LOL). Amazing!
«Where did you say you danced again? Spearmint Rhino?!» I found this hard to believe, since supposedly those are the hottest dancers in Vegas.
«Yeah, Spearmint Rhino,» she said… but then explained that they only let her dance til 9pm, then made her leave til 3am, when she was allowed back in the club. During those intervening hours, she would sometimes go dance at a less discriminating club. Like the one in the holding tank at the CCDC!
Five stars for the lap dance, five stars for the company… but zero stars for everything else.
With any luck, I will NOT be returning to this establishment!
