How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
FMC Fort Worth does not accept mailed funds at the facility street address. Any money you send through the mail must go to the BOP's centralized processing center in Des Moines, Iowa. For a faster option, deposit through MoneyGram ExpressPayment using receive code 7932. When entering the account information, use the inmate's 8-digit register number immediately followed by the inmate's last name.

Do not send cash or personal checks. Stick to approved vendors, money orders, or cashier's checks, and confirm the inmate has approved you as a sender before you try to deposit.
