Before You Mail a Money Order to Abingdon: A Simple Checklist
A money order missing key details can get sent back—delaying your loved one's commissary access. Run through this checklist before you mail anything to Abingdon.
Write the inmate's full name and inmate ID number directly on the money order. Missing either one? It gets returned to you instead of going into their account.
Include your own details too. Your name and return address need to be on the money order so staff can match it correctly - and send it back if something's off.
Heads up: Mailed funds must be sent by money order - personal checks aren’t accepted for commissary deposits.
Put a clear return address on the envelope, and make sure it matches what you wrote on the money order itself. Mismatched or missing sender info can slow things down, especially if the facility needs to return it.
- ✓ INMATE NAME
- ✓ P.O. Box 280
- ✓ Meadowview, VA 24361
Mail early. Money orders need to arrive at least one business day before commissary for the funds to post in time.
Common Mistakes
- ✓ Leaving off the inmate’s full name or inmate ID number on the money order
- ✓ Sending a personal check instead of a money order
- ✓ Forgetting to write your name and return address on the money order
Note: Missing details mean the money order gets returned - and your loved one won't have funds when they're expecting them.
