How to Send Money to Facility

Don't mail money to the facility's street address. For USP Lewisburg, mailed funds need to go to a processing center in Des Moines, Iowa. Send it to the facility address instead, and your deposit could be delayed or rejected entirely.

The money you send goes into a commissary account the facility maintains for the incarcerated person. They use that balance to buy commissary items (things not regularly issued by the institution). One thing to be aware of: USP Lewisburg lists a commissary validation limit of $360.00. Even if the account holds more than that, there may be a cap on what's actually validated for commissary spending.

• ✓ Use the MoneyGram website option and enter Receive Code 7932.
• ✓ Send no more than $300 per transaction.
• ✓ If it is your first time using MoneyGram online, set up a profile/account.
• ✓ For first-time online use, you will need a MasterCard or Visa credit card.

• ✓ If you are mailing funds, do not address them to USP Lewisburg’s street address. Address mailed funds to the processing center in Des Moines, Iowa.

• ✓ Remember what the money is for: deposits are stored in the person’s commissary account for their purchases.

Before sending money, double-check that the details haven't changed. Confirm that mailed funds still go to the Des Moines, Iowa processing center (not the facility address), that MoneyGram online still uses Receive Code 7932 with a $300 per-transaction limit, and that first-time online users need to create an account using a MasterCard or Visa credit card. If you're planning larger deposits or thinking about commissary spending, verify the commissary validation limit (currently listed as $360.00). Limits and procedures can shift over time.
