Remodeling of a detention facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. Conceptual plans call for the remodel of a detention facility.

This project is included in the City of Las Vegas Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) fiscal years 2024-2028. As of November 10, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identfied. A firm timeline for construction has not been established. A detailed scope has not yet been released. The Department of Public Safety – Detention Services division is requesting funding to remodel its visitation area. Out of an abundance of caution, the Detention Center has only allowed for and will continue to utilize video visitation only. This has resulted in this area to be underutilized. DPS is requesting to use this funding to repurpose this area to resource provider offices and resident programming space. Jail statistics have shown the need for services and programming to be onsite. The Detention Center houses over 400 residents a day, 37% of which are transient, 58% of which are on some kind of medication and 27% of which are on mental health medication. Since February, the Detention Center’s discharge planner has met with over 2,200 individuals needing some type of resource information. By creating a designated space for resource providers in the Detention Center, DPS will be able to improve resident accessibility to resources, leading to better preparedness for when the resident reenters society. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
