Inmate Money

Each state correctional institution has a Commissary that was created to provide inmates an account for inmate monies and for purchasing things not provided by the Bureau of Prisons.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Family, friends, or other sources can deposit funds into these accounts by sending it by Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates money through the postal service and must send the money to the following address and follow the rules given below:

The funds must 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 post office money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day holding period, and during this hold period the inmate will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender funds that don’t have valid prisoner info provided the envelope it was sent it has a valid return address. Cash and personal checks can’t be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send cash or checks.
