Clark County Detention Center

Clark County Detention Center (CCDC) is the primary pretrial detention facility operated by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, located in downtown Las Vegas in Clark County. CCDC is one of the largest single-site jails in the western United States, processing tens of thousands of bookings annually from across the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The Las Vegas Valley — including Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, and the surrounding unincorporated areas — is the most populous region in Nevada, and CCDC serves as the main intake and pretrial holding center for Clark County's criminal court system. The facility is located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas near the courthouse complex.

Communication at Clark County Detention Center is managed through GTL, which provides phone calls, video visitation, and electronic messaging services under the county contract. Families create a GTL account at telmate.com to access all services. Funding a GTL AdvancePay account linked to your phone number allows you to receive inmate-initiated calls. Remote video visits are available and can be scheduled through the GTL platform. Electronic messaging via GTL delivers communications digitally within the facility. A single GTL account covers all CCDC communication services.

CCDC is located in downtown Las Vegas on Casino Center Boulevard, near the Las Vegas city hall and courthouse complex. The facility is accessible from I-15, US-95, and major surface streets through downtown. For Las Vegas metro families, in-person visits are logistically practical given the facility's central downtown location. For families from out of state — particularly those from California, Arizona, or Utah whose loved one was arrested in Las Vegas — remote GTL video visits and messaging are the most practical tools for maintaining contact across state lines. People held at CCDC are typically in pretrial status; after conviction, sentences of more than one year result in transfer to a Nevada DOC state facility.
