Inmate Money
Every prison has a Commissary which was created to provide a bank-like account for inmate money and for purchasing things not issued by the Bureau of Prisons.
How to Send an Inmate Money
Friends, family, or other people can deposit money into 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 in the mail and have to send the money to this address and follow the rules 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 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. You should use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day hold period, and during this period the prisoner will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that don’t have valid prisoner info if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Cash and checks can’t be accepted so do not send any cash or checks.
