How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may add money to inmate’s accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send inmates funds by way of postal mail and have to send the money to this address and do so in accordance with the steps written below:

The money 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. You are advised to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, during which the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that do not have appropriate prisoner info but only if the envelope has a valid return address.
