Inmate Money

Every state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide prisoners a bank account for inmate monies and for buying things not provided by the correctional facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people can send funds to these Commissary accounts using Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send inmates money in the mail and must send money to the following address and follow the directions provided below:

The money must be in a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day hold, during which the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will send back any funds that don’t have appropriate prisoner info but only if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash can’t be accepted for deposit so do not send checks or cash.
