Family and friends of the inmate give their consent to being monitored when they agree to corresponding with the prisoner and are notified each and every time that they get an email from the prisoner.
When a contact is approved they will get an email notification which sends them to the CorrLink system at www.corrlink.com.

Inmate Money
Every prison has a Commissary which was started to provide inmates a bank-like account for prisoner money and for buying things not provided by the facility.
How to Send an Inmate Money
Family, friends, or other sources can add money to inmate’s Commissary accounts using the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.
Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners money through postal mail and have to send funds to the following address and follow the steps written 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 a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should 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 period, in which the prisoner will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that don’t have valid prisoner info if the envelope has an adequate return address. Checks and cash will not be accepted so do not send cash or checks.
Via Western Union Quick Collect Program: Prisoner’s friends and family may also send prisoners money with Western Union’s Quick Collect Program. Money sent to a prisoner with the Western Union Quick Collect Program can be sent via one of these methods:
- At a physical 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 or debit card: Call 1-800-634-3422 and choose menu option 2.
- On the web with a credit/debit card: Visit 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
- Code City: FBOP, DC
If the wrong register number and/or name are used and accepted and sent to the wrong inmate, funds might not be returned.
