Inmate Money

Every state prison has a Commissary which was started to provide a bank-like account for inmate money and for buying things not issued regularly by the facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may deposit money to these accounts by sending it by Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send inmates money in postal mail and will have to send it to the following address and follow the steps listed below:

The funds have to be in a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold period, and during this period the inmate will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will send back funds that do not have correct inmate info if the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash can’t be accepted for deposit so don’t send any cash or checks.
