EMERGENCY RESOURCE

Family Survival Guide

If your loved one has experienced an incident inside a Nevada correctional facility - here is what to do, step by step.

01
PRIORITY

Confirm the Incident

Contact the facility directly to confirm your loved one's status. Request the name and badge number of any officers involved. Document everything in writing immediately.

02

File an Immediate Grievance

If the incident involves injury, medical emergency, or rights violation - request a grievance form immediately. NDOC requires formal grievances before most legal remedies.

03

Contact Legal Resources

Contact the ACLU of Nevada, Nevada Legal Services, or the University of Nevada law clinic. For federal rights violations, the U.S. District Court for Nevada allows pro-se filings.

04

Document Everything

Keep copies of all correspondence, grievance filings, and communications. Dates, times, names, and incident details must be preserved. Use the Px3B notebook to log notes.

05

Submit a Report to Px3B

Submit a report through our secure intake system. Your submission may help identify patterns, support ongoing investigations, and create a public accountability record.

06

Connect With Support

You are not alone. Connect with family advocacy organizations, faith communities, and support networks for families of incarcerated Nevadans.
