How to Send Money to an Inmate at Clark County Jail: All Your Options Explained

Need the money to post fast? CCDC offers two quick options: TouchPay (online or by phone) and the self-service cash kiosk in the CCDC lobby. Both typically post within about 15 minutes, though the facility says it can take up to 24 hours. You can also mail a payment, but that's the slowest route - mailed checks and money orders come with a hold.

Quick timing tip: TouchPay and lobby kiosk deposits usually post in about 15 minutes, but allow up to 24 hours just in case.

TouchPay is CCDC's vendor for credit and debit card deposits - and it's the fastest option available. You can deposit online or call 1-866-232-1899.

  • Clark County Detention Center Facility #289101
  • Inmate’s full name
  • Inmate ID number

TouchPay deposits usually post within about 15 minutes, though CCDC says they can take up to 24 hours. Double-check the inmate's name and ID before submitting - money goes to whatever account you select, and there's no reversing it.

Prefer to pay in person? There's a self-service cash kiosk in the Clark County Detention Center lobby. It's a solid choice if you want to use cash and skip mailing delays.

Kiosk deposits post quickly - usually within about 15 minutes, though CCDC says allow up to 24 hours.

You can mail a check or money order if timing isn't urgent. Include the inmate's name and ID number on the envelope and on the memo line of the payment. Send it to: Clark County Detention Center - 1115, PO Box 96777, Las Vegas, NV 89193.

  • Expect a 10-business-day hold on all mailed checks and money orders (weekends and holidays don’t count)
  • Checks and money orders must be issued in US currency
  • Make money orders payable to “CCDC Inmate Trust Account”
  • Do not send personal checks, two-party checks, or checks issued from foreign banks

Plan for a delay: CCDC places a 10-business-day hold on mailed checks and money orders (not counting weekends or holidays).

Two policies to know before you send money. First, CCDC does not issue refunds once funds hit an inmate's account. Second, the facility won't release information about an inmate's trust account to anyone outside the detention center unless there's a subpoena.

Warning: Double-check the inmate details before you pay - CCDC does not issue refunds after funds are deposited.

  1. Confirm the deposit details first - Have Facility #289101, the inmate’s full name, and the inmate ID number exactly as listed.
  2. Use TouchPay when speed matters - Deposits can be made online or by phone at 1-866-232-1899.
  3. If you mail funds, address it exactly - Use “Inmate Name – Inmate ID Number” and send it to Clark County Detention Center - 1115, PO Box 96777, Las Vegas, NV 89193.
  4. Build in the hold time for mailed payments - Checks and money orders are held for 10 business days (weekends/holidays excluded), so don’t rely on mail for last-minute needs.

Mailing funds? Stick to acceptable payment types. CCDC does not accept personal checks, two-party checks, or checks from foreign banks.
