Inmate Money

Every prison has a Commissary that was created to provide prisoners a bank-like account for prisoner funds and for buying things not provided by the correctional facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people can add money to prisoner’s accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send prisoners money in the postal service and will have to send money to the following address and follow the policies listed below:

The funds have to be a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should 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, and during this hold period the inmate will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that don’t have valid inmate info but only if the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Checks and cash cannot be accepted for deposit so do not send checks or cash.
