Friends, family, or other people may deposit money to these Commissary accounts with the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send prisoners money in the postal service and will have to send money to the address below and do so in accordance with the directions shows below:

The money has to be in a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day holding period, and during this period the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that don’t have valid inmate information if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address.
