Three Ways to Send Money to Someone at Northern Nevada Correctional Center
Want to put money on someone's account at Northern Nevada Correctional Center (NNCC)? The Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) offers three options: Lockbox Deposit Coupons (with a money order or cashier's check), Access Corrections deposits by credit/debit card, or phone deposits through Access Corrections.
NDOC lists three ways to send money to someone at NNCC: the Lockbox Deposit Coupon method (cashier's check or money order), Access Corrections deposits by credit or debit card (MasterCard or Visa), or phone deposits through Access Corrections. Which one works best depends on how fast you need the funds to arrive - and whether you'd rather mail a payment or use a card.
Going the Lockbox route? You'll need a deposit coupon. NDOC requires coupons printed from their website or provided directly by the incarcerated person - and they put the responsibility on that person to send coupons to anyone who wants to deposit funds.
The Lockbox Deposit Coupon method is NDOC's mail-in option. You'll send a cashier's check or money order along with the correct coupon - either printed from the NDOC website or obtained directly from the incarcerated person. NDOC expects them to share coupons with friends and family who want to make deposits. Don't have one yet? Ask for it first.
Timing heads-up: Because of increased counterfeit activity, funds from all money orders and cashier’s checks received directly by NDOC won’t be available to the offender until fourteen calendar days after NDOC receives them.
Prefer using a card? NDOC also accepts Access Corrections deposits by MasterCard or Visa. You can complete the transaction online or by calling Access Corrections directly - helpful if you'd rather not handle it on a website.
The 14-day hold applies to money orders and cashier's checks received directly by NDOC. They've implemented this delay due to increased counterfeit activity, so plan accordingly if timing matters.
Caution: NDOC warns that if you aren’t previously acquainted with an offender, you should be wary of requests for money for “release,” “restitution,” or other claimed expenses - NDOC doesn’t require fees for any type of release and assumes no responsibility for statements by offenders requesting funds.
If someone pressures you to send money claiming there's a set restitution payment schedule through NDOC, that's a red flag. NDOC doesn't have specified schedules for restitution payments and doesn't require fees for any type of release. Stick to the standard deposit methods, and don't let urgency or a dramatic story push you into sending funds you can't verify.
