Mail Policy

Effective November 19, 2025

In an effort to keep contraband out of the Mohave County Adult Detention Facility, the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office 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 where you just go to  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 these messages.  Messages are only $0.25 per message and Picture Messages / Documents are only $0.35 per picture.  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 limit on how many messages or photos that can be sent to the inmates.

As of November 19th, 2025, all inmate mail, EXCEPT for books, magazines, newspapers, legal and medical mail, must be mailed to the following address utilizing existing Mohave County Sheriff’s Office Jail mail rules.  All legal and medical mail must be mailed to the Mohave County Detention Center:
