Friends, family, or other people can add money to inmate’s accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates funds in postal mail and will have to send funds to the following address and follow the directions provided below:

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

The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that don’t have valid inmate info if the envelope has a return address.
