43 North Las Vegas Jail Workers Laid Off
The North Las Vegas Detention Center is losing 19 corrections officers and 24 other workers because about a third of the jail’s inmate population will be housed in a new Pahrump facility. Once this Nevada Southern Detention Center opens next month, the North Las Vegas Detention Center’s inmate population will be reduced from 300 to 50. The layoffs will save nearly $10 million a year.
The North Las Vegas Detention Center is located in the same building as North Las Vegas Municipal Court at 2332 Las Vegas Boulevard North, Ste. 200. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is under contract with the jail to house 150 inmates. North Las Vegas Detention Center typically houses federal inmates during trial as well.
