How to Address and Send Mail to Someone at Churchill County Detention Center

Put the incarcerated person's full name on the top line. Below that, add the facility name and address exactly as shown: <Inmate name> Churchill County Detention Center 180 West A Street Fallon, NV 89406 So if you're writing to Jane Doe, the first line reads "Jane Doe," with the facility name and address on the lines below.

Every piece of inmate mail needs a return address. Write yours in the top left corner of the envelope - that way the jail can send it back if delivery fails.

Alternatives

  • ✓ Securus messaging (electronic messages)
  • ✓ Securus eCards
  • ✓ Sending photos through Securus
  • ✓ Video-related options through Securus (where available)

Note: These options go through a third-party service and may cost money. Account setup, funding, and available features are all handled through Securus.

Note: There's no published list of prohibited mail items or detailed screening rules for this facility. If you're unsure whether something's allowed, check the inmate handbook or contact the county directly for current mail policies.

  1. Write the address exactly as listed - use the inmate’s full name on the first line, then “Churchill County Detention Center,” then “180 West A Street, Fallon, NV 89406.”
  2. Add your return address every time - without it, mail may not be processed the way you expect.
  3. Confirm any extra restrictions before sending anything unusual - use the inmate handbook or contact the county, and check Securus directly if you plan to use electronic messaging or eCards.
