Inmate Money

Every prison has a Commissary that was created to provide prisoners a bank-like account for prisoner money and for purchasing things not issued by the prison.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Anyone may deposit funds to these accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send inmates funds through postal mail and must send the money to the following address and follow the rules given below:

The deposit must be a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day hold period, and during this hold period the inmate will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that don’t have valid inmate information but only if the envelope it was sent it has a return address. Checks and cash will not be accepted so don’t send any cash or checks.
