Inmate Money

Each prison has a Commissary that serves to provide prisoners an account for prisoner funds and for buying items not issued regularly by the prison.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Family, friends, or other sources may deposit money to inmate’s accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates money through the mail and must send funds to the following address and do so in accordance with the rules given below:

The deposit must be a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day holding period, and during this period the inmate will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will send back funds that do not have valid prisoner info if the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and checks won’t be accepted for deposit so don’t send checks or cash.
