Each prison has a Commissary that was created to provide prisoners a bank-like account for prisoner funds and for purchasing things not provided by the Bureau of Prisons.

Family, friends, or other sources may add funds into these Commissary accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners funds by way of the postal service and have to send those funds to the following address and follow the directions provided below:

The funds have to be in a money order 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 processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day holding period, and during this hold period the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that do not have appropriate prisoner information but only if the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Personal checks and cash won’t be accepted so don’t send checks or cash.

The Youthful Offender Program at Madison houses young men between the ages of 14 and 17 years old. They are received into a living unit specifically designed for this population. The Youthful Offender Program is maintained by ensuring a structured daily schedule, as well as placing a high priority on each young man obtaining his high school education. The program is driven by an incentive based system which is structured to encourage mature behavior. Reentry programming is also offered within this housing unit.
Sex Offender Risk Reduction Center (SORRC) provides assessment and basic sex offender education services to all inmates sentenced as or determined to be a sex offender.
