Inmate Money

Every state correctional institution has a Commissary that was started to provide a bank type account for inmate money and for buying things not issued to inmates by the facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people can deposit money to these Commissary accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send prisoners money in the postal service and have to send funds to the address below and follow the steps written below:

The money must be in the form of a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold, and during this period the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return any funds that don’t have appropriate inmate info provided the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Cash and personal checks won’t be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send checks or cash.
