★★☆☆☆
Are you EVER going to update this app? NRV county jail, has shown the same people for three years. I know, probably, most of the prisoners shown, have most likely served their time, or been sent to the Big House. And, I know, there's been many in the NRV jail, who you aren't showing on this app. PLEASE UPDATE ASAP! Thank you. Will be back to download app again in a few months to see if it's been updated.
★★☆☆☆
Is not recent info won't show anything new only 2020 and before
