How to Send Money to Ely State Prison, NV (NV)

There are several ways to send funds to an NDOC offender at Ely State Prison. Online, you can deposit through the ConnectNetwork website or the ConnectNetwork mobile app (Android or iOS). By phone, call 800-483-8314 to use the automated system or speak with a live agent. Prefer cash? NDOC also lists Western Union deposits through ViaPath/ConnectNetwork. If you'd rather mail payment, the ViaPath option lets you send a check or money order made payable to ViaPath AdvancePay. In some locations, ViaPath-installed kiosks are available for deposits too.

A few things to confirm before sending money: any Ely State Prison-specific deposit limits, which payment types are accepted for each method, how long deposits take to post, and whether a kiosk is actually available at Ely. These details can change, and they weren't included in the source information for this guide. Verify them before you pay any fees or mail anything out.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Deposit online using ConnectNetwork’s website for NDOC offender funds (have the offender’s identifying information ready, and verify exactly what details the system asks for).
• ✓ Deposit using the ConnectNetwork mobile app on Android or iOS (double-check you select the correct state/facility and enter the offender information exactly as required).
• ✓ Deposit by phone at 800-483-8314 to use the automated system or talk to a live agent (confirm what offender identifier they need before you submit payment).

• ✓ Use Western Union to make a deposit for an NDOC offender (confirm the correct service option and required offender details at the time of payment).
• ✓ Mail a check or money order payable to ViaPath AdvancePay to: AdvancePay Service Dept., PO Box 911722, Denver, CO 80291-1722 (verify any memo line requirements, offender ID format, and endorsement instructions before mailing).
• ✓ Use a ViaPath-installed kiosk (where available) to deposit funds (confirm kiosk availability at Ely State Prison before you make a trip).

1. Confirm the goal is calling time: If you are trying to help someone make calls, the offender can use money from their NDOC Trust account toward debit calling time through the facility’s Offender Services Commissary Section.
2. Make sure funds are available in the trust account: Use one of the NDOC deposit options (online, app, phone, Western Union, mail, or kiosk if available) so the offender has money to use.
3. Have the offender follow the facility process: The exact steps for purchasing debit calling time are handled at the facility level through Offender Services/Commissary, so the offender may need to submit a request or purchase through the usual commissary process at Ely State Prison.

Before sending money, verify what identifying information is required (for example, the offender's name and NDOC number) and whether the system needs an exact match to NDOC records. Also confirm any deposit limits, what forms of payment are accepted for the option you choose (especially mail and kiosk deposits), and expected processing times. Fees are worth checking up front too, since they vary by method and can change over time.

• ✓ Confirm whether a ViaPath-installed kiosk is available for deposits at Ely State Prison.
• ✓ Confirm which Western Union locations near you support deposits for NDOC through ViaPath/ConnectNetwork, and what information they require at the counter.
• ✓ Re-check the mail deposit details before sending anything, including the payable name (ViaPath AdvancePay) and mailing address: AdvancePay Service Dept., PO Box 911722, Denver, CO 80291-1722.

For debit calling time, the core rule is straightforward: offenders can use money from their NDOC Trust accounts through the Offender Services Commissary Section at their facility. The day-to-day process can be specific to Ely State Prison operations, though. Check with Ely State Prison Offender Services/Commissary to find out how the offender purchases calling time, when it becomes available to use, and whether any additional steps are needed after funds are deposited.
