Inmate Management
The Inmate Management Section is responsible for the safe and secure detention of all persons placed in custody in the Washoe County Detention Facility.
Classification
Classification is an essential management tool used by the facility to determine the best placement for inmates. Inmate classification can lead to more consistent decision making regarding the assignment of inmates to appropriate custody levels. A consistent classification system assures fair and equitable processing of inmates.
Classification uses Tiburon records management system to track and manage inmates while housed in the facility. The reporting system maintains all initial screenings, risk assessments, information regarding certain groups; such as members of the same or opposing gangs and persons with specific behavior alerts including escape risks so they can be immediately assessed.
