Inmate Money

Each state correctional institution has a Commissary which was created to provide inmates a bank account for prisoner money and for buying items not provided by the Bureau of Prisons.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may add funds into these accounts using the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send prisoners funds by way of postal mail and will have to send those funds to this address and do so in accordance with the rules shows below:

The funds must be in the form of a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day holding period, in which the prisoner will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that do not have appropriate prisoner info if the envelope has a return address. Personal checks and cash can’t be deposited so do not send checks or cash.
