Each state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide an account for inmate money and for buying things not issued by the correctional facility.

Friends, family, or other people can deposit money into these accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send prisoners funds in the postal service and have to send money to the address below and follow the directions listed 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 U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day holding period, and in this time the inmate will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that don’t have valid prisoner information provided the envelope has a return address. Personal checks and cash can’t be accepted for deposit so don’t send any cash or checks.

Details about release procedures for Howard R. Young Correctional Institution coming soon.

The Key Visions Program is the first component of Delaware’ substance abuse treatment regimen for offenders with a history of substance abuse. Key Visions is a prison based therapeutic community with a total treatment environment that is discipline based, intense and isolated from the rest of the prison population. The Key Visions Program is open to sentenced offenders who are within 12 to 36 months of their short term release date or within 15 months of a parole date. The projected length of stay in the program is 12 to 18 months and is based on performance. This means that the length of time an offender spends in the program depends upon their level of participation and how hard they work while in the program. The primary goal of Key Visions is to change negative patterns of behavior, thinking and feelings that predispose one toward drug abuse and crime. The program provides a disciplined, regimented daily routine for offenders. Offenders earn advancement in the program’s phase system through demonstrative responsible behavior and proper living.
