How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
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.
