Inmate Money

Each prison has a Commissary that was started to provide inmates an account for inmate funds and for buying things not issued by the prison.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Family, friends, or other sources can add money to these accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send prisoners funds in the postal service and must send those funds to this address and follow the policies written below:

The funds have to be in the form of a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, during which the inmate will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back funds that don’t have appropriate prisoner info but only if the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Personal checks and cash will not be accepted so don’t send any cash or checks.
