In Person – using a deposit kiosk located inside the Detention Center Administration Building at 3300 Stewart Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89101. The kiosk is available 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, excluding holidays.

All three options accept credit/debit card payments and the kiosk also accepts cash. Money deposited is posted immediately to the inmate’s account.

Effective July 5, 2009, money orders will no longer be accepted to deposit money in an inmate’s account.

Property Release
There are two ways property releases can be initiated: the inmate housed in the units can request a property release form from an officer, or an outside person can request the property release form at the bail window. Both requests require the completion of a property release form. All property requests will be processed during the designated times only. Property releases will entail releasing all of the inmate’s property or all of the inmate’s money. This includes property/money releases for bail purposes.

Property release times are:
Day Shift 8-10 a.m.
Night Shift 8-10 p.m.
