Inmate Money
Every federal prison has a Commissary which was started to provide inmates a bank type account for inmate money and for purchasing things not issued by the Bureau of Prisons.
How to Send an Inmate Money
Family, friends, or other sources can add money to these Commissary accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.
Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send prisoners money through postal mail and must send funds to this address and follow the policies given below:
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Insert Valid Committed Inmate Name
Insert Inmate Eight-Digit Register Number
Post Office Box 474701
Des Moines, Iowa 50947-0001
The money has to be in a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day hold, in which the prisoner will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that don’t have valid prisoner info if the envelope it was sent it has a return address. Cash and checks cannot be deposited to the inmate’s account so do not send cash or checks.
Via Western Union Quick Collect Program: Prisoner’s friends and family may also send prisoners money using Western Union’s Quick Collect Program. Money sent to a prisoner with the Western Union Quick Collect Program can be sent using one of these methods:
- At Western Union location using cash. In order to locate the closest agent, you should call 1-800-325-6000 or visit www.westernunion.com.

- Correct Inmate Eight-Digit Register Number (entered with no spaces or dashes) followed immediately by Inmate’s Last Name
- Committed Inmate Full Name entered on Attention Line
