How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
RRM Philadelphia uses the BOP's TRUNET system to manage inmate funds, commissary inventory, and product sales to inmates. TRUNET isn't connected to the public internet—it communicates through encrypted site-to-site connections over JUTNet, adding an extra layer of security. When you send funds, your name, home address, and financial details get entered into TRUFACS. Access is limited to BOP employees and contractors, and it uses SSL plus LDAP strong passwords. Unit Team staff can view balances, deposits, and withdrawals through TRUWEB, which provides read-only access. Scanned TRUFACS files (including BP Form-199s) are treated as temporary records and destroyed 90 days after verification. Follow facility guidance for approved deposit options and required details.
