Inmate Money

Every prison has a Commissary which serves to provide a bank type account for inmate monies and for buying items not issued by the facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may add funds into these Commissary accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send inmates funds by way of the postal service and must send money to the address below and do so in accordance with the policies listed below:

The funds have to be in a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day holding period, and in this time the inmate will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that do not have appropriate inmate info provided the envelope has an adequate return address. Checks and cash can’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send checks or cash.
