How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Send money to someone at FCI Beckley through MoneyGram ExpressPayment. Enter the deposit exactly as instructed—account number format, company name, city/state, receive code, and beneficiary's name, plus the inmate's committed name and register number. The BOP receives and processes MoneyGram transfers seven days a week, including holidays. Posting speed depends on when you send; transfers outside processing windows post in the next period. Wait until the inmate has physically arrived at the facility before sending funds—this prevents deposits from being misapplied or delayed. Money goes into the Trust Fund/Deposit Fund for commissary purchases and certain services.
