Inmate Money

Each state prison has a Commissary that was created to provide inmates a bank-like account for prisoner money and for buying items not provided by the Bureau of Prisons.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone can send money to prisoner’s Commissary accounts using the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

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

The deposit has to be in the form of a money order that is 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 placed on a 15-day hold, in which the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that do not have appropriate prisoner information provided the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Cash and checks will not be deposited to the prisoner’s account so do not send cash or checks.
