Families calling from Las Vegas or another part of Nevada may need to coordinate information over a distance. Keep a written record of the facility, booking number and contact person so that relatives are working from the same information. Our listed business office is in Las Vegas; we do not list a separate Ely office on this page.
Finding the correct White Pine County custody contact
Start with the White Pine County Sheriff’s Office. Its official directory lists the Sheriff’s Office at 1785 Great Basin Boulevard, Ely, NV 89301. Confirm current custody and facility instructions directly through the official county resources.
County custody and Ely State Prison are different
Do not assume that a person described as being in custody near Ely is at the county jail. Nevada also operates Ely State Prison in White Pine County. Establish the actual facility and case status before asking about a bail bond. A prison listing by itself does not establish that someone is eligible for release on bail.
What to ask before starting the application
- Which facility and agency currently have custody?
- Is there a booking number and a court case number?
- Has the court provided bail or release instructions?
- What information will the signer need to supply?
- How will the family receive updates before arranging transportation?
You can begin with our online application, then talk with our team about the premium, any collateral requirements and signing responsibilities. The application is a starting point; it is not a promise of approval or immediate release.

Understanding your agreement

Nevada’s required 15% bail bond premium
Nevada law sets the commercial bail bond premium at 15% of the amount of the bond or $50, whichever is greater. This rule is in NRS 697.300(1)(a). The $50 figure is the minimum premium under that provision, not an automatic extra $50 added to every 15% premium. The rate applies to commercial bail transactions; it is different from depositing the full amount of cash bail with the court.
Examples of the premium calculation
- A $1,000 bond has a $150 premium.
- A $5,000 bond has a $750 premium.
- A $10,000 bond has a $1,500 premium.
- A $20,000 bond has a $3,000 premium.
- For a $200 bond, 15% would be $30, so the $50 minimum applies.
These figures illustrate the premium only. They are not a quote for a particular case, confirmation that a bond is available, or a promise of release. Request a written breakdown of any other legally permitted expenses and any collateral before signing. If multiple bonds are involved, ask for the amount and premium associated with each bond rather than assuming that every entry in a custody record is one transaction.
Payment arrangements do not change the required rate
If a payment arrangement is offered and approved, it concerns when the agreed amount is paid. It does not turn the required 15% premium into a lower premium. Ask what is due initially, what remains outstanding, when payments are due and who is responsible. Do not assume a smaller initial payment is the entire cost.
Collateral serves a different purpose from the premium. If collateral is required, ask how it will be documented, held and released under the agreement. Keep the receipt and all signed documents. Questions about the court’s release decision should go to the attorney or court; questions about the bond agreement should also be discussed directly with the bail agent.
Helping a family member in Ely from elsewhere in Nevada
A White Pine County custody situation can be difficult to coordinate when relatives are many miles away. Begin with reliable identifying information and a confirmed facility. Call Kind Bail Bonds with the person’s legal name, date of birth and any booking or court reference. Explain whether you are in Ely, Las Vegas or another location so the discussion includes the practical arrangements for communication, documents and the proposed signer.
Choose one person to keep the family’s notes. Record the source and time of each update, particularly if information comes through brief telephone calls. Distinguish a custody confirmation from a statement about bail and distinguish both from a release notification. Keeping those steps separate helps prevent unnecessary travel and misunderstandings about whether someone is ready to leave the facility.
Confirm the facility before discussing a bond
The presence of both county custody resources and Ely State Prison makes the facility question especially important in this area. The word Ely identifies a place, not the legal status of every person held nearby. Use the county Sheriff’s Office resources for local custody questions and the Nevada Department of Corrections resources when state custody is involved. Provide the actual facility name when asking about assistance.
Do not infer bail eligibility from an address or an online inmate listing alone. The person’s case and court instructions matter. If there are multiple cases, another agency’s hold or an anticipated transfer, share that information with the agent and attorney. Ask for clarification instead of assuming that paying for a bond on one matter resolves every custody issue.
Organizing an application for White Pine County
The first conversation is more useful when you have the available paperwork in front of you. Gather any booking number, court case number and stated bail amount, along with the person’s current contact information if known. Say when and where each detail was obtained. If a figure came from a relative’s recollection, identify it as unconfirmed rather than presenting it as a current court instruction.
The proposed signer should also have time to read the agreement carefully. Ask what identification is needed, how documents should be provided and what obligations signing creates. Explain whether another person will help with payments or transportation. Those people may have different roles, and identifying them early helps everyone understand who should receive questions about the application.
Understand each part of the financial arrangement
A bond amount, a premium and collateral are separate items. Ask for a written breakdown that names each one and explains the amount involved. Read the required-rate section on this page, then ask the agent how the rule applies to the particular bond being discussed. Do not compare offers solely by an initial payment without understanding the full premium and the terms of any payment arrangement.
If collateral is requested, discuss how it will be recorded, who is providing it and what documents will identify the transaction. Keep copies of receipts and agreements. If any additional expense is proposed, ask for its explanation and legal basis. A family’s urgency should not prevent a clear discussion of costs and responsibilities before anyone commits.
Travel and communication around an Ely release
Families helping from Las Vegas or another community may need to coordinate a substantial trip. Wait for reliable release information before making a pickup commitment. Confirm the location and contact details with the facility, then arrange a way for the driver and family contact to reach each other if timing changes. Keep travel plans flexible because a processing estimate is not a guaranteed release appointment.
Discuss basic practical needs with the person being helped when communication is possible. They may need transportation, access to essential belongings or a way to reach their attorney. Handle these arrangements alongside the legal process without assuming that travel itself is authorized. If a proposed trip raises questions about court conditions, get guidance from the attorney or court before acting.
Keep important details available offline
Before a trip, write down the confirmed facility location, telephone number, case reference and the family contact’s number. Keep copies of necessary paperwork available in a secure form instead of relying on a single text message that may be difficult to locate later. Do not leave sensitive documents exposed in a vehicle or send them to contacts whose identity has not been confirmed.
If a release update changes while someone is already travelling, communicate the exact new information. Avoid paraphrasing a tentative estimate as a promise. If the facility has not confirmed that pickup can occur, say so plainly. Accurate updates allow relatives to decide how to handle transportation without adding confusion to an already stressful situation.
Responsibilities after leaving custody
The immediate relief of release should be followed by a review of the paperwork. Organize the bond agreement, receipts, release conditions and any court notices in one place. Record hearing dates from official documents and check later notices for changes. Make sure the defendant knows how to contact their attorney and how to receive communications relating to the case.
Ask about required notifications if a telephone number or address changes. If travel, employment or family responsibilities create a conflict with a court requirement, seek legal guidance promptly. Do not assume that living far from Ely changes the obligation to follow the court’s instructions. A bail agent can explain the bond relationship, while the attorney can advise on the legal issues affecting the case.
Additional White Pine County questions
Does a listing at Ely State Prison mean a commercial bond is available?
No. A location alone does not establish eligibility for bail. Confirm the person’s legal and custody status through the appropriate facility and attorney before discussing a commercial bond request.
Can relatives coordinate the first call without travelling to Ely?
Yes. Start by calling with the available identifying and custody information. Ask which details are needed next and what arrangements apply to the request. Do not travel simply because an online application has been submitted.
What should I do if different relatives have different updates?
Compare the source and time of each message, then seek a current confirmation from the appropriate facility or court contact. Use one family contact to distribute verified information so everyone can make decisions from the same facts.
