Carson City Jail

Visitation at Carson City Jail is appointment-only. Appointments are processed on Thursdays from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. You must be on the inmate's approved visitors list and ready to show valid identification before your visit can be accepted. Social visits are supervised, non-contact, and held on Saturdays for 15 minutes—limited to one visit per week with up to two adult visitors plus one child. Attorney visits aren't subject to these limits. Expect security screening and a possible physical search before entry. Bring a valid U.S. or Canadian photo ID (foreign visitors generally need a passport). The dress code is enforced: clothing tied to gangs, drugs, violence, or discrimination is prohibited, along with sheer or revealing clothing and visible undergarments. Register in the facility's visitor system and wait for approval before scheduling.

Carson City Jail uses Inmate Calling Solutions (IC Solutions) for phone service. Each incarcerated person gets a phone PIN at booking. Calls can be paid through commissary fund transfers or collect calls, depending on how the account is set up. To get connected, create an account with IC Solutions, add the inmate as a contact using their name and ID, then fund the account through the vendor's web portal, phone/IVR, or kiosks. Need to reach someone quickly? Plan around these systems—detention center staff won't deliver messages to inmates or discuss medical (HIPAA) information with callers. Vendor-mediated communications (including digital messages and video visits) are typically monitored. In many Nevada facilities, web-generated messages may be printed for delivery during mail call.

Send mail to inmates at Carson City Jail at 897 E. Musser St. The jail delivers incoming U.S. mail Monday–Friday (excluding holidays), so plan around that schedule if you're trying to meet a deadline. Certain types of mail aren't accepted—items generated from websites or email are specifically prohibited. All incoming mail is opened and screened for contraband or prohibited content. Anything that doesn't meet the rules may be rejected or returned. Include the inmate's full name and booking/ID number, along with your return address, on every envelope. Before mailing anything beyond a basic letter, check the facility's rules on photos, books, envelopes, and package sources to avoid delays.
