Sending Money to Someone at Lovelock Correctional Center: Your Main Options
Getting money to someone at Lovelock Correctional Center comes down to two main routes: electronic deposits or mailing a money order with a lockbox coupon. Here's what you need to know about each NDOC-approved option.
The Lockbox Deposit Coupon method is one standard way to send money through the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC). You'll mail a cashier's check or money order along with a required lockbox coupon, and the funds get credited to the offender's account.
Access Corrections is the other main option. NDOC accepts credit and debit card deposits through Access Corrections - MasterCard and Visa both work. You can also make deposits by phone. If you run into issues, Access customer support is available at 1-800-546-6283.
Going the lockbox route? You'll need a deposit coupon. These can be printed from the NDOC website or obtained directly from the offender - they're responsible for sending coupons to anyone who wants to deposit money.
- Get the Lockbox Deposit Coupon - Print the coupon from the NDOC site or use a coupon the offender provides.
- Use the offender-provided route if needed - If you can’t print the coupon, the offender is responsible for sending coupons to people who want to send money.
- Fill it out carefully - Make sure the coupon includes the offender’s identifying details and your sender information so NDOC can apply the payment to the correct account.
- ✓ A Lockbox Deposit Coupon (printed from the NDOC site or obtained from the offender)
- ✓ A cashier’s check or money order
- ✓ The offender’s identifying information on the coupon
- ✓ Your sender information on the coupon
Card deposits through Access Corrections are often the simplest option when you need to fund an account without mailing anything. NDOC accepts MasterCard and Visa through this service.
Need help or prefer to deposit by phone? NDOC also allows deposits by calling Access Corrections, and Access customer service support is available at 1-800-546-6283.
Mailing a money order or cashier's check? Plan for a delay. Due to increased counterfeit activity, NDOC holds these payments for fourteen calendar days from receipt before the funds become available.
If timing matters, skip the mail. An Access Corrections deposit by credit or debit card (MasterCard or Visa) avoids that 14-day hold entirely.
Even after your payment posts, the amount available to your loved one may not match what you sent. Under Nevada Revised Statutes, a portion of incoming funds can be deducted before the offender can use them.
Budgeting tip: If you’re trying to cover a specific need, consider sending a little extra in case deductions reduce the amount that actually posts for the offender.
Watch out for anyone claiming your loved one needs money for a "release fee" or insisting there's a required restitution payment schedule. NDOC does not have specified schedules for restitution payments, and it does not charge fees for any type of release.
Scam warning: If you get an unexpected request for money tied to “release,” “restitution,” or other claimed costs - especially from someone you don’t know - treat it as a red flag and verify before sending anything.
