· To add money to their books, you have two options:

 

1. You can bring cash or card to the lobby kiosk at the jail, located at 1201 Mesa Drive in Douglas, WY. A $4.00 fee is applicable for cash deposits, while a 10% fee is imposed on credit/debit card transactions.

2. You can go online to add money via credit card, the website is inmatecanteen.com

 

· If an inmate has an outstanding debt to the jail, 50% of any money deposited in this account will be collected when it is added to their books, until the debt is satisfied.

 

· Inmates can transfer money from this account to their phone time account.

Inmate Mail

​

ALL INMATE PERSONAL MAIL IS GOING DIGITAL

​

In an effort to keep contraband out of the Converse County Detention Center, the Facility is implementing a new system for sending documents, photos and mail to inmates.

​

If you wish to send documents, photos and mail to inmates, we now have a quicker and more efficient method using our new Inmate Messaging system. Friends and families of inmates can visit www.NCIC.com and set up an account. You can then easily send messages to an inmate for instant delivery. You can also take a picture of any documents and attach to those messages. Messages are only $0.25 per message and Picture Messages/Documents are only $0.35 each. This is much cheaper than postage, envelopes and the time it takes to mail a letter and the inmate will receive the message and/or picture instantly. There will be no limits on how many messages and photos that can be sent.

​

Beginning August 11th, 2025, all inmate mail must be mailed to the following address utilizing existing Converse County Detention Center mail rules:​
