The deposit must be a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number.

The Bureau of Prisons will return any funds that do not have valid prisoner information but only if the envelope has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash won’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so do not send any checks or cash.
