Southern Nevada Corrections

Southern Desert Corrections Center (SDCC) uses Viapath Technologies' ConnectNetwork for inmate calling and account billing. To receive calls, set up a prepaid AdvancePay ConnectNetwork account through the ConnectNetwork website, Viapath's automated system, or by speaking with Viapath Customer Care. ConnectNetwork also provides a customer support phone number for payments and account help. Calls from SDCC can also be placed as traditional collect calls billed to your local telephone bill—though your phone provider may apply spending limits and monthly fees. People incarcerated at SDCC can use funds from their NDOC Trust accounts to purchase debit calling time through the facility's Offender Services Commissary Section. Phone-use restrictions vary by facility, so contact SDCC to confirm any local limits.

Mail rules at Southern Desert Corrections Center are strict, so send only what's allowed. Books and calendars can be mailed, but they're limited and governed by NDOC regulations in AR 711 and AR 750. Clothing and food packages can't go through regular mail—order those through the SecurePak Package Program instead. A good rule: if NDOC already offers the same item through Canteen or AccessSecurePak, outside versions are prohibited. For help placing approved package orders, contact AccessCatalog customer service. All incoming mail is screened, so double-check addressing and content rules (including format, photo, and envelope restrictions) to avoid returns or rejection.

Southern Desert Corrections Center (SDCC) follows NDOC procedures for inmate funds. You can send money using a Lockbox Deposit Coupon with a cashier's check or money order, deposit to an Access Corrections card (MasterCard or Visa), or call Access Corrections to load funds. If you're mailing funds with a deposit coupon, you'll need the coupon printed from the NDOC website or provided directly by the offender before mailing anything. NDOC reviews money orders and cashier's checks received directly to help prevent counterfeits—those funds won't be available to the offender until fourteen calendar days after receipt. NDOC does not keep restitution payment schedules, does not require any fees for release, and takes no responsibility for offenders' requests asking you to send them money.

To reach Southern Desert Correctional Center, call the main facility line at 702-899-0905 for general questions. For Family Services, call (775) 977-5707—but keep in mind they provide general information only and cannot verify individuals by phone or email. Before visiting or making deposits, check the facility or agency page for current contact methods, hours, and any vendor portals you may need. When calling about custody status or account help, have the incarcerated person's full name and identifying details ready to speed things up. Also, don't rely on caller ID alone—payment, visitation, and account services often run through third-party vendors listed on the facility page.
