Inmate Money
Every federal prison has a Commissary which was created to provide inmates a bank-like account for inmate money and for buying things not provided by the Bureau of Prisons.
How to Send an Inmate Money
Family, friends, or other sources can deposit money to these 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 must send 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 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, and in this time the prisoner will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender funds that don’t have valid prisoner info but only if the envelope it was sent it has a return address. Checks and cash will not be accepted so do not send checks or cash.
Via Western Union Quick Collect Program: Prisoner’s friends and family are also able to 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 by one of these methods:
- At Western Union location using cash. In order to locate the closest agent, you can call 1-800-325-6000 or visit www.westernunion.com.
