How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people can send funds into these Commissary accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send prisoners funds by way of postal mail and will have to send funds to the following address and do so in accordance with the steps shows below:

The deposit must be in the form of a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number.
