How to Send Money to Someone at FCI Coleman Low (MoneyGram step-by-step)

The Account Number format for BOP commissary deposits is very specific. Use the inmate's eight-digit register number followed immediately by their last name. No spaces, no dashes. Example: 12345678DOE.

MoneyGram will also ask for a Company Name and City/State. Enter the Company Name as Federal Bureau of Prisons, and the City & State as Washington, DC.

• ✓ Receive Code: 7932
• ✓ Beneficiary name: the inmate’s full committed name (spell it exactly the way BOP has it)

The commissary at FCI Coleman Low works like a bank account maintained for the inmate. Money deposited there can be used to buy items that aren't part of the institution's standard-issue supplies.
