How to Send Money to Facility
Sending money by mail? The most important rule: mail the money order alone. Don't include a letter or anything else in the envelope. Extra enclosures can get your deposit rejected or delayed. Write the incarcerated person's full name clearly on the money order so staff can credit it to the right account. The facility hasn't published specifics on mailing addresses, fees, processing times, or other payment options, so confirm those details directly before sending anything.
Important: Mail the money order by itself. Don't include letters or any other paper.
Important: Write the inmate's full name clearly on the money order so it gets credited to the right account.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Buy a money order and write the inmate’s name clearly on it
- ✓ Do not include a letter, note, or any other enclosure with the money order
- ✓ Confirm the correct mailing address and any required identifying information (such as an inmate ID number) before you mail it
- Confirm what payment types are accepted. Ask whether money orders are accepted for deposits and whether there are any limits.
- Verify exactly how it must be addressed. Get the correct mailing address and ask what identifiers must be included so it posts to the right account.
- Reconfirm the “no enclosures” rule. This facility’s policy is that money orders cannot have letters enclosed with them, so make sure nothing else is in the envelope.
- Ask about processing details. Check whether there are any fees, holds, or processing timelines so you know when the funds will be available.
Tip: Not sure about the current rules? Call the facility's mail or trust account staff and ask for the policy in writing.
