Inmate Money

Each state prison has a Commissary that serves to provide prisoners a bank type account for prisoner money and for buying items not issued regularly by the facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Family, friends, or other sources can add money into these Commissary accounts with the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send prisoners funds by way of postal mail and will have to send it to the following address and follow the rules given below:

The money has to be in a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day holding period, and during this period the inmate will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return any funds that don’t have valid prisoner info if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Checks and cash can’t be deposited so do not send any checks or cash.
