Inmate Money

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

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may add funds to these accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners money through the mail and have to send the money to this address and follow the steps listed below:

The deposit has to be a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day hold, and during this period the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that don’t have appropriate prisoner information provided the envelope has an adequate return address. Checks and cash will not be accepted so don’t send cash or checks.
