Inmate Money
Every federal prison has a Commissary which was started to provide inmates a bank type account for prisoner money and for purchasing things not issued regularly by the Bureau of Prisons.
How to Send an Inmate Money
Friends, family, or other people can add 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 choose to send prisoners money in the mail and have to send funds to this address and follow the steps 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 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. You are advised to use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, during which 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 it was sent it has an adequate return address. Cash and checks will not be deposited to the prisoner’s account so do not send cash or checks.
Via Western Union Quick Collect Program: Prisoner’s friends and family may also send prisoners money using Western Union’s Quick Collect Program. Money sent to a prisoner with the Western Union Quick Collect Program can be sent using one of these methods:
- At Western Union 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 phone prompt option 2.
- On the web with a credit or debit card: Visit www.westernunion.com and choose “Quick Collect.”

- Correct Inmate Eight-Digit Register Number (entered with no spaces or dashes) followed immediately by Inmate’s Last Name
