Inmate Money

Every state correctional institution has a Commissary which was started to provide prisoners a bank account for inmate monies and for buying items not issued to inmates by the facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may send money into these Commissary accounts using the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send inmates money in postal mail and have to send those funds to this address and follow the steps provided below:

The deposit must be in a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day hold, in which the inmate will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that do not have appropriate inmate info but only if the envelope has a valid return address. Personal checks and cash won’t be accepted for deposit so don’t send cash or checks.
