Sending Money to an Inmate at FCI Pollock (MoneyGram ExpressPayment Guide)

MoneyGram's ExpressPayment service is accepted for sending funds to people in Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) custody, including inmates at FCI Pollock. MoneyGram lists the Federal Bureau of Prisons as one of its "Top billers" in the corrections category - a good sign you're using a standard, supported payment path.

The "Account Number" field requires a specific format: the inmate's eight-digit register number (no spaces or dashes), followed immediately by their last name. Example: 12345678DOE.

Format matters. Enter the account number exactly as eight-digits-plus-last-name. Adding spaces, dashes, or putting the last name first can cause the transaction to be rejected or credited to the wrong account.

Use receive code 7932 for BOP deposits through MoneyGram.

For the beneficiary name, enter the inmate's full committed name exactly as the BOP has it on record. This helps the deposit apply to the right person without delays.

MoneyGram funds sent between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST typically post to the inmate's BOP account within 2–4 hours. Send after 9:00 p.m. EST, and the funds post at 7:00 a.m. EST the next morning.

Time zone tip. These posting windows are in Eastern Time (EST). If you're in a different zone, send earlier in the day to avoid the after-hours cutoff.

Common Mistakes and Verification

  • ✓ Account Number matches the required format: eight-digit register number (no spaces/dashes) + last name (example: 12345678DOE)
  • ✓ Receive code is 7932
  • ✓ Beneficiary name is the inmate’s full committed name

Before you hit submit, double-check the inmate's register number and committed name. Confirm directly with the inmate or look it up through the BOP's official inmate locator - small typos can mean a rejected transaction or money landing in the wrong account.
