NRS 211.040
Transfer of prisoners.
1.
Payment of expenses and the method of transporting a prisoner from a county jail to an institution or facility of the Department of Corrections must be as provided in chapter 209 of NRS. When a prisoner is transferred from the county jail to such an institution or facility, the sheriff shall provide the Director of the Department of Corrections with a written report pertaining to the medical, psychiatric, behavioral or criminal aspects of the prisoner’s history. This report may be based upon observations of the prisoner while confined in the county jail and must note in particular any medication or medical treatment administered in the jail, including the type, dosage and frequency of administration.2.
Except as provided in subsection 1, the sheriff, personally or by his or her deputy, or by one or more of his or her jailers, shall transfer all prisoners within his or her county to whatever place of imprisonment the sentence of the court may require, at as early a date after the sentence as practicable. For that purpose, the board of county commissioners shall pay all necessary costs, charges and expenses of the prisoner or prisoners, and of the officer or officers having charge thereof, to which must be added mileage for each officer, at the rate of 20 cents per mile, one way only.3.
The provisions of subsection 2 apply in cases where prisoners are taken from county jails to be tried in any courts in other counties.
