Inmate Money

Every prison has a Commissary that serves to provide prisoners a bank-like account for inmate funds and for buying things not issued regularly by the Bureau of Prisons.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone can add funds to 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 prisoners funds in postal mail and will have to send the money to the address below and follow the policies listed below:

The money must be in the form of a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, and during this hold period the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender funds that don’t have correct inmate info if the envelope has a return address. Checks and cash cannot be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send cash or checks.
