Inmate Money

Every state correctional institution has a Commissary that was started to provide prisoners a bank-like account for prisoner funds and for purchasing things not issued regularly by the prison.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may send funds to prisoner’s Commissary accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners money by way of the mail and have to send funds to the following address and follow the policies written below:

The funds have to be in the form of a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day holding period, and during this period the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that don’t have valid inmate info but only if the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash cannot be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send any cash or checks.
