Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorneys
Every person in custody at the Clark County Detention Center (CCDC) has their own trust account. Anybody can transfer funds into inmate trust accounts except other inmates. Inmates may use their account to buy items at the commissary or to release the money to outside people.

Money orders through the mail

INMATE NAME & ID #

Make the money order payable to "CCDC Inmate Trust Account." Then write the person in custody’s name and ID number somewhere on the money order as well.
CCDC does not accept personal checks, cashier’s checks, or business checks. Money orders will post to the trust account within a day unless it’s a weekend or holiday.
Western Union Quick Collect

Explain that you’re sending the funds by "Quick Collect." Make the money payable to Code City: Jail, Nevada. And have them include the inmate’s name and ID# somewhere on the Quick Collect.
Releasing money from an inmate trust account at the CCDC
Persons in custody may give money from their trust accounts to outside people. However, inmates may not transfer money from their trust accounts to other inmates.
CCDC processes money releases right away as long as the money is being transferred to a bail bondsman, to the court to pay fees, or to an attorney. If the money is being released to anyone else, there’s a twenty-four-hour hold.
Anyone coming to the jail to pick up the funds has to show a valid photo ID.
