Incarcerated people counted at home for redistricting

Beginning July 1, 2025, in national census years, the Department of Corrections sends inmate data to the State Demographer between April 1 and July 1. The file includes a unique non-name ID, the prison’s address, the person’s last home address and any alternate address, age 18+ status, and race or ethnicity with a separate Hispanic/Latino option. Within 30 days after Nevada receives redistricting data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the State Demographer moves each person’s count to the census block, block group, and tract of their last home address before incarceration. If the last home address is unknown or was outside Nevada, the person is not counted at the prison; they are placed in a statewide unit not tied to a local block or tract.

Prisons must keep inmate address and demographics

Starting January 1, 2026, the Nevada Department of Corrections must keep an electronic record for every offender. It must include the last home address before sentencing, whether the person is 18 or older, and race or ethnicity with a separate Hispanic/Latino category. Before January 1, 2026, the Director must collect and keep the last known home address for each offender who will be released after July 1, 2030. This is an internal data rule and does not provide payments or benefits.
