How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending money to an inmate at FCI Cumberland goes through approved deposit channels, not in person. For MoneyGram ExpressPayment, format the account number as the inmate's eight-digit register number immediately followed by their last name—this ensures funds post to the right account. Sending online through MoneyGram? You'll need the Bureau of Prisons Receive Code 7932, and online sends max out at $300. You can't hand cash to staff. Instead, use accepted methods: approved vendor websites, kiosks, phone systems, participating retail locations, or mail/lockbox options when offered. Processing times and vendor fees vary, so double-check details before you pay. The Bureau's Trust Fund/Deposit Fund rules require inmate funds to be accurately maintained, and services like commissary, phone, and laundry must be self-supporting.
