Inmate Money

Every state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide inmates an account for prisoner funds and for buying things not issued to inmates by the correctional facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people may send funds to prisoner’s accounts using the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send prisoners funds by way of the postal service and must send those funds to the address below and do so in accordance with the steps provided below:

The money has to be in the form of a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day holding period, and during this period the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back any funds that don’t have valid inmate information but only if the envelope it was sent it has a return address. Personal checks and cash will not be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send any checks or cash.
