Inmate Money

Every state prison has a Commissary which was started to provide prisoners a bank-like account for prisoner funds and for buying items not issued to inmates by the prison.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people may add funds into these Commissary accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners funds by way of the postal service and will have to send funds to the address below and follow the policies written below:

The funds must be in a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold period, and during this hold period the prisoner will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that do not have appropriate inmate info provided the envelope has a return address. Checks and cash won’t be deposited so don’t send checks or cash.
