Sending Money

Do not send money to the facility address. The BOP routes all funds sent by mail through a processing center in Des Moines, Iowa, and also accepts online deposits. Our guide to sending money covers the common methods, and the official BOP page lists the approved ones.

⚠️ Double-check before you send anything. Facility rules, addresses and approved vendors can change with little notice. Confirm current details on bop.gov before mailing letters, packages or money.
