How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
When you send funds to—or receive funds from—an inmate at FCI Tallahassee, BOP guidance requires identifying details like your name, home address, or financial information. The facility tracks all inmate financial activity in TRUFACS: commissary deposits and withdrawals, court-ordered fines and restitution, medical co-payments, and telephone transactions. Common deposit methods include an online payment portal, lobby kiosk, phone deposits, or mailing a money order or cashier's check. Follow the vendor and facility directions for whichever option you choose. To avoid delays, fill out deposit forms clearly, complete all required fields, and include valid contact information so payments can be processed or returned if needed.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
