How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
For MoneyGram transfers to FCI Milan, use the inmate's eight-digit register number followed immediately by their last name as the account number (example: 12345678DOE). Deposited funds can typically cover commissary purchases, messaging, phone time, or certain fees—depending on what the facility and payment service allow. Most people pay online, by phone, or through facility kiosks. Whichever method you choose, take your time: select the correct facility and resident, pick a deposit type (commissary, bond, or bill), and enter the inmate's identifiers exactly as requested. The Trust Fund/Deposit Fund Manual revision also includes updates like healthy commissary food options, standardized female/transgender commissary items, and updated TRULINCS language.
