Inmate Money

Each state prison has a Commissary that was created to provide inmates a bank-like account for prisoner funds and for buying items not issued by the prison.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Family, friends, or other sources can deposit funds to prisoner’s Commissary accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send prisoners money in postal mail and have to send those funds to this address and do so in accordance with the directions written below:

The deposit must be in the form of a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day holding period, and during this hold period the inmate will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that do not have appropriate inmate information if the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and checks won’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so do not send cash or checks.
