Inmate Money

Every prison has a Commissary which serves to provide prisoners a bank account for inmate monies and for buying things not issued by the prison.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may deposit funds into these accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send inmates money in postal mail and must send those funds to the following address and do so in accordance with the steps given below:

The money has to be in a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, during which the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that do not have valid prisoner info but only if the envelope has a return address. Cash and checks will not be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send any cash or checks.
