Inmate Money

Every state prison has a Commissary that was created to provide prisoners a bank type account for inmate funds and for buying things not provided by the prison.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Family, friends, or other sources can add money to inmate’s Commissary accounts with Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners money through the mail and must send those funds to the following address and follow the directions shows below:

The deposit has to be a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold, in which the prisoner will not have access to the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that do not have appropriate prisoner info but only if the envelope has a valid return address. Checks and cash cannot be accepted for deposit so do not send cash or checks.
