Inmate Money
Every prison has a Commissary which was started to provide a bank type account for inmate money and for buying things not issued regularly by the prison.
How to Send an Inmate Money
Friends, family, or other people can deposit money to these Commissary accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.
Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send prisoners money through the mail and must send the money to this address and follow the steps given below:
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Insert Valid Committed Inmate Name
Insert Inmate Eight-Digit Register Number
Post Office Box 474701
Des Moines, Iowa 50947-0001
The deposit has to 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. It is best if you use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold, and in this time the prisoner will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender funds that don’t have valid prisoner info if the envelope has a return address. Cash and personal checks cannot be accepted for deposit so do not send any cash or checks.
Via Western Union Quick Collect Program: Prisoner’s friends and family are also able to send prisoners money using Western Union’s Quick Collect Program. Money sent to a prisoner using the Western Union Quick Collect Program can be sent by one of these methods:
- At an agent location using cash. In order to locate the closest agent, you should call 1-800-325-6000 or go to www.westernunion.com.
- By phone with a credit/debit card: Call 1-800-634-3422 and select menu option 2.
- Online with a credit or debit card: Go to www.westernunion.com and choose “Quick Collect.”
For every Western Union Quick Collect transaction, this info has to be included:
- Correct and valid Inmate Eight-Digit Register Number (entered with no spaces or dashes) followed immediately by Inmate’s Last Name
- Committed Inmate Full Name entered on Attention Line
