Nevada does not use a centralized mail scanning address. Letters go directly to the facility where the offender is housed. Nevada's mail regulation is AR 750, which is older than most states in this series and the NDOC website provides less detail than many states - but the key rules are confirmed from official pages.
One important distinction: Nevada's electronic messaging via CorrLinks is one-way. Family and friends send messages to the offender; offenders cannot email back. Replies come by phone or in-person visit.
Nevada DOC (NDOC) refers to incarcerated people as "offenders" throughout its materials.
Sending mail - letters and correspondence
Mail goes directly to the facility where the offender is housed. Find the offender's facility and NDOC number through the Offender Search at ofdsearch.doc.nv.gov. For family questions, contact NDOC Family Services at 775-977-5707.
Outgoing mail from offenders must include the offender's name, offender number, institution/facility name, and mailing address in the return address. All outgoing mail goes via U.S. Postal Service with appropriate postage.
Incoming mail is processed at the mailroom of each facility. All incoming mail is subject to inspection.
For facility mailing addresses, see doc.nv.gov/Facilities/Home/. Nevada operates more than a dozen correctional facilities and conservation camps across the state; the complete address list is on the NDOC website.
Books and calendars
Books and calendars may be mailed to offenders with limitations. NDOC refers to AR 711 (Inmate Personal Property) and AR 750 (Inmate General Correspondence and Mail) for the governing rules.
A key restriction: if NDOC offers an item through the facility canteen or the AccessSecurePak program, outside items are prohibited from being mailed to the offender. This applies to books, clothing, food, and other items available through those channels.
Packages - AccessSecurePak
Offender personal clothing and food packages are ordered through the AccessSecurePak program. Order online at accesscatalog.com (search for the NDOC program). Items that are available through AccessSecurePak cannot be mailed separately by family.
Electronic messages - CorrLinks
NDOC's secure messaging system uses CorrLinks. Messages are one-way only: family and friends send messages to the offender, but offenders cannot reply via email. Offenders receive printed copies of messages in their mailroom during regular mail call.
Set up a free account at corrlinks.com. A small fee applies per message.
Note: This system launched July 6, 2017 at all NDOC facilities.
Sending money - Access Corrections and lockbox
Two deposit methods:
Access Corrections (online or by phone): credit or debit card (Mastercard or Visa). Deposit online through Access Corrections or by phone to fund an offender's account.
Lockbox: Cashier's checks or money orders. Coupons must be printed from the NDOC banking page or obtained directly from the offender - the offender must provide the coupon to the sender. Mail with the lockbox coupon to:
Secure Deposits - Nevada DOC
PO Box 12486
St. Louis, MO 63132
Important: Due to counterfeit activity, all funds from money orders and cashier's checks received directly by NDOC are available to the offender 14 calendar days after receipt.
Funds received may be subject to deductions as authorized by Nevada Revised Statutes.
Caution: Do not send money to an offender based on a request for release fees, restitution, or other claimed expenses. NDOC does not have specified schedules for restitution payments and does not require fees for any type of release. NDOC assumes no responsibility for statements made by offenders requesting funds.
For Access Corrections assistance, visit accesscorrections.com or call Access Corrections directly. See doc.nv.gov/Inmates/Inmate_Banking_Services/Home/ for the lockbox coupon and updated information.
