How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
MoneyGram is an accepted way to send money to someone at RRM Atlanta. On the MoneyGram form, enter the inmate's eight-digit register number (no spaces or dashes) immediately followed by their last name as the Account Number. First-time users of MoneyGram ExpressPayment online will need to create a profile and pay with a MasterCard or Visa. Other funding methods sometimes used in Georgia (online vendor transfers, lobby kiosks or ATM-style deposits, mailed money orders with printable vouchers) may also be available, but follow RRM Atlanta's specific instructions when provided. Make sure you're on the inmate's approved visitor or sender list to avoid delays. Funds go into the inmate's account but may be applied to outstanding debts first.
