How to Send Money to an Inmate at FCI Butner Medium 2 Using MoneyGram

MoneyGram ExpressPayment lets you deposit money directly to a Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmate account, including accounts at FCI Butner Medium 2. Enter the MoneyGram fields correctly, and the payment routes to the BOP and posts to the inmate's commissary balance.

The Account Number field trips people up more than anything else. For MoneyGram ExpressPayment, enter the inmate's 8-digit register number immediately followed by their last name - no spaces, no dashes. So if the register number is 12345678 and the last name is DOE, you'd enter: 12345678DOE.

Payment didn't go through or isn't showing up? Check your data entry first. An extra space in the account number, a misspelled last name, or wrong company/receive-code details can cause a rejection or misapplication. If you've confirmed the register number + last name format and the BOP fields (Federal Bureau of Prisons, Washington, DC, Receive Code 7932) are all correct, contact MoneyGram support with your transaction details to track or fix the payment.
