Douglas County saw the seventh highest number of inmates incarcerated among Nevada counties in February, according to the Nevada Department of Corrections.

There were 159 inmates incarcerated in the county at the time, the same amount as the month before.

Statewide, Clark County saw the most inmates incarcerated in February, with 5,743 people incarcerated.

Every year, at least 38,000 people are booked into Nevada's local jails.

Nevada has an incarceration rate of 610 per 100,000 people, which means it incarcerates a higher percentage of its population than any other democracy in the world — except for the United States.
