Inmate Money

Every prison has a Commissary that serves to provide prisoners a bank type account for inmate funds and for buying items not provided by the correctional facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone can send money to these Commissary accounts using Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners funds through the mail and have to send those funds to this address and do so in accordance with the rules listed below:

The money must be a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day holding period, in which the inmate will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that don’t have valid prisoner information provided the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and checks will not be deposited so don’t send any checks or cash.
