Sending Money to Someone at FCI Jesup: What Personal Information Gets Shared

When you send funds to someone at FCI Jesup, the Bureau of Prisons receives identifying details about you. That includes your name and home address. If you send money via check or another negotiable instrument, the financial information on that document also becomes part of Bureau records.

  • ✓ Your name (as the sender)
  • ✓ Your personal mailing/home address
  • ✓ Financial information shown on the negotiable instrument/check

Note: Sending funds to an inmate means your name and personal mailing address are shared with the Bureau.

Some money-related authorizations are handled as scanned paperwork. BP Form 199, for instance - used for recurring inmate withdrawals - is treated as a temporary record. These scanned files are destroyed 90 days after verification.

Tip: Keep your own copy of any authorization paperwork until well after verification. Scanned BP Form 199 files are destroyed 90 days after verification - so your copy is your backup.

The Bureau uses internal systems to manage inmate and visitor information. One example is TRUNET, which isn't connected to the public internet.

  1. Confirm the correct payment method for FCI Jesup - Use the Bureau’s “Locations” area to open FCI Jesup’s facility page, where the right addresses and phone numbers for different types of business are listed.
  2. Direct procedure questions to the facility - If you’re unsure about an operational or procedural detail, contact FCI Jesup directly rather than using the BOP’s central contact form.
  • ✓ Use the facility’s page in the BOP “Locations” area to confirm you’re using the right address/phone number for what you’re trying to do.
  • ✓ Stick to what’s required when sending funds, since your name and personal mailing address are shared as part of sending money.
