How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can send money to someone at Lovelock Correctional Center a few ways: use a Lockbox deposit coupon with a cashier's check or money order, make an online credit/debit card deposit through Access Corrections, or use the phone deposit option through the Access vendor. If NDOC receives a money order or cashier's check directly, those funds are held for fourteen calendar days before becoming available. Money in an inmate trust/commissary account covers commissary purchases, phone and tablet services, and other approved expenses—processing times vary by service and facility. NDOC also warns anyone who doesn't already know the person in custody to be cautious about sending money or paying requested "fees," including claims tied to release. Follow all deposit and identification instructions exactly to avoid delays.
