How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Don't mail money to the USP Victorville street address. For federal inmates, any funds sent through the mail must go to the BOP processing center in Des Moines, Iowa. Before you deposit, double-check the person's full name and booking or ID number, then confirm which deposit methods are accepted (often an online or mobile portal, phone deposits, or a lobby kiosk, depending on the system used). Skip cash. Use a U.S. Postal money order or an approved electronic option, and follow the vendor's instructions so the funds post correctly and you can track them. One thing to keep in mind: when you send money, your name, home address, or financial information will be shared with the BOP and commissary system. If you submit TRUFACS files or BP 199 forms, scanned copies are destroyed 90 days after verification.
