About the Churchill County Detention Center

Located within the Churchill County Sheriff’s Office, the Churchill County Detention Center has a capacity of 120 and houses both misdemeanor and felony arrests pretrial as well as for short sentences with almost all inmates spending less than 12 months incarcerated at the jail.

Upon booking each inmate will be classified for security needs and other considerations, and depending upon the ratio of the classifications the functioning capacity may be as low as between 65 and 80. Male and female inmates are housed in separate housing units, as are serious charges and minor misdemeanors, along with other considerations.

Inmates are able to make outgoing calls only, and will be unable to accept calls, however, they are able to both send and receive mail on weekdays through the Post Office.

All mail must have a full return address and contain the name of the sender, or it will be refused, and it will be opened and checked for any contraband.

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Churchill County Detention Center?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Churchill County Detention Center uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Churchill County Detention Center first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.

180 West A Street
Fallon, NV 89406
