How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
At Clark County Jail, any cash found on a person during booking goes into the inmate's commissary account. Commissary purchases are deducted from that balance, and any remaining funds at release come on a debit card. Supporting someone from the outside? You can add funds through the Main Jail lobby kiosk (cash only), online, over the phone, or through an app. For most deposit options, you'll need the inmate's full name and a booking or ID number, plus an accepted payment type. If you ever need to mail funds through an external process, don't send cash—use a cashier's check or money order and label the intended sub-account when possible.
