How to Send Money to FCI Morgantown, WV (WV)

Don't send money directly to FCI Morgantown's facility address. The Bureau of Prisons routes mailed deposits through a processing center in Des Moines, Iowa, not to the institution itself.

Once your deposit is received and credited, it goes into the inmate's commissary account. That's the account your loved one uses for commissary purchases and other approved spending inside the facility.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Use the Bureau of Prisons mail-in money process that routes deposits to the Des Moines, Iowa processing center (do not mail funds to FCI Morgantown’s address).
• ✓ Include clear inmate identifying information with your deposit so it can be credited to the correct person’s commissary account.
• ✓ Remember the goal of your deposit: funds are stored in the inmate’s commissary account maintained by facility staff.

Double-check the exact mailing instructions for the Des Moines processing center before sending anything. This is the most common mistake people make: mailed funds should never go to FCI Morgantown's address. They must be addressed to the processing center in Des Moines, Iowa.

You'll also want to confirm how and when deposits show up in your loved one's commissary account. The BOP confirms that deposits go into the inmate's commissary account, but posting times, limits, and any holds depend on current policy and can change.
