Inmate Money

Every prison has a Commissary that serves to provide a bank account for inmate monies and for purchasing things not issued by the correctional facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people can send money to these Commissary accounts with the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send inmates funds by way of postal mail and have to send funds to this address and do so in accordance with the rules listed below:

The funds have to be in a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you 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 period, and during this hold period the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back any funds that don’t have appropriate prisoner information provided the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and personal checks will not be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send checks or cash.
