Inmate Money

Each state correctional institution has a Commissary which serves to provide an account for inmate money and for buying items not issued regularly by the Bureau of Prisons.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may deposit funds into these Commissary accounts by sending it by Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

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

The deposit has to be in the form of a money order 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 that are processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day holding period, 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 correct prisoner information provided the envelope has a return address. Cash and checks can’t be accepted so do not send checks or cash.
