Inmate Money
Every federal prison has a Commissary which was created to provide an account for prisoner money and for purchasing things not issued regularly by the prison.
How to Send an Inmate Money
Family, friends, or other sources can deposit money to these Commissary accounts by sending it by Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.
Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send prisoners money in the mail and must send funds to this address and follow the rules listed 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 money has to be in a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number.

The Bureau of Prisons will return any funds that don’t have correct prisoner info but only if the envelope it was sent it has a return address. Cash and checks cannot be accepted so do not send cash or checks.
