Each state prison has a Commissary that serves to provide a bank account for prisoner funds and for buying items not provided by the correctional facility.

Friends, family, or other people may deposit funds to inmate’s Commissary accounts with Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send prisoners funds through the postal service and will have to send those funds to this address and do so in accordance with the steps provided below:

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

FCCC’s primary focus is work release. Upon arrival to FCCC, all inmates must complete a two to four week intake phase. The intake phase includes monitoring and evaluation of an inmate’s participation in activities such as the inmates performance in a center job assignment, participation in a structured community service activity, or completion of the Department’s pre-release curriculum. After completing the intake phase, inmates are reviewed by a multi-disciplinary team for work release and, if approved for work release, may be placed on work release based on job skills and jobs available in the community.
In addition to work assignments, all inmates are required to participate in appropriate social service programming to address identified areas, including assistance in obtaining identification documents or driver’s licenses, or participating in a structured driver’s training program.

Treatment\educational programs are provided on an individual case by case basis as indentified in the inmates’ individual treatment\educational plan.
