Inmate Money

Each state prison has a Commissary which serves to provide a bank type account for inmate money and for buying things not issued by the facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may send money to inmate’s Commissary accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners money by way of the postal service and have to send the money to the address below and follow the policies provided below:

The money must be a money order that is 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 processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day hold period, during which the inmate will not have access to the money. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that don’t have appropriate prisoner info but only if the envelope has an adequate return address. Cash and personal checks cannot be deposited to the inmate’s account so do not send checks or cash.
