Inmate Money

Every state prison has a Commissary that serves to provide inmates a bank-like account for inmate funds and for buying things not issued regularly by the Bureau of Prisons.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Family, friends, or other sources may add money into these Commissary accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

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

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