how can i send money to an inmate?
Sending money to an inmate involves several secure methods, and the exact process depends on the facility where the inmate is housed. Below are the most common ways to send money to an inmate: 1. Online Services Many facilities partner with secure online platforms to allow friends and family to deposit funds directly into an inmate's account. Popular Providers: JPay: Available for many state and federal facilities. Access Corrections: Common in state and county facilities. GTL/ConnectNetwork: Frequently used for federal and state institutions. Western Union Quick Collect: Used for federal and some state prisons. How to Use: Create an account on the provider's website. Add the inmate using their ID number and facility. Select the amount and pay with a debit or credit card. 2. Facility’s Kiosk or Mobile Apps Some facilities have kiosks in their lobby or use mobile apps that allow visitors to deposit money during visits. Payments are typically made using cash, credit, or debit cards. 3. Phone Services Many facilities allow deposits through automated phone systems provided by their payment partners (e.g., JPay, GTL). You'll need the inmate's ID number and a credit or debit card to complete the transaction. 4. Mail-In Deposits Checks or Money Orders: Some facilities allow you to mail a check or money order directly to the prison. It must include the inmate’s full name, ID number, and facility address. Confirm the required format and mailing instructions with the facility. Special Handling: Certain facilities use lockboxes or third-party processors for mailed payments (e.g., the Federal Bureau of Prisons uses a centralized location for money orders). 5. Walk-In Services MoneyGram or Western Union: Available at retail locations like Walmart or convenience stores. Provide the inmate’s details, facility code, and pay with cash, debit, or credit card. 6. Facility Commissary or Trust Accounts Funds are deposited into the inmate's trust account, which allows them to purchase commissary items like snacks, toiletries, and phone time. Check the specific rules of the facility regarding allowable amounts and frequency of deposits. Important Considerations Inmate Details: Always have the inmate’s full name, ID number, and the facility’s name/address to ensure proper crediting. Fees: Be aware of processing fees, which vary by service provider and facility. Limits: Facilities often have deposit limits, so check the rules before sending large amounts. Prohibited Items: Never attempt to send cash or unauthorized items directly to the inmate. For the most accurate information, confirm with the specific facility or visit its website to review the approved methods for sending money

I am a French user but I made a promise to a detainee who was publicized whose name I will not mention a short time ago. He was sentenced to life and despite his young age, we had an exchange when he was still in the old prison where his trial was in progress. After the verdict, it was very hard work to find him. Today I sent him a letter and I hope he will be allowed to reply to me. I hope he is well, I hope that despite what he has done, his mail will be delivered to him because I only count on this site to hope to resume a correspondence with him. Every inmate deserves a contact, no matter what they do, I don't have to judge, it's been done. Inmate Aid, you are now my only link to this person who has been talking about him so much lately... you are also his only hope that his French friend can reconnect with him.
So I'm at home and I decided to enter my first, middle, and last name into Google to see what came back. The very first link at the top was an InmateAid profile stating I was in a correctional facility. That was not accurate. I reached out to inmateaid via www.inmateaid.com/contact and explained the inaccuracy. I also emailed them at aid@inmateaid.com. I did these two things at about 6:45pm. By 7:15pm they responded back to me and had the profile removed. I confirmed it was in fact removed. I am still waiting for Google to remove the search result, but I could not be happier with InmateAid's quick turn around. Thank you!
I just wanted to thank all who operate this site it is by far the coolest thing about this whole unfortunate event that's has taken place in my gf and my life. So thank you very much
Someone I care about is incarcerated and your company has helped us both adjust to each other's absence. I have sent 312 custom-designed postcards to my inmate over the last 2.5 years using your service. I've tried other companies who offer similar services but the quality of their finished products was terrible. My inmate was so excited when I started using Inmate Aid and told me that everyone including staff were impressed with his postcards. I have lauded your services to anyone who would listen, thank you so much for helping me keep in close contact with my loved one. We appreciate you.
Thank you all for the phone line.It was very helpful on saving me money.My boy friend is coming home on the 23 .Thanks so much.
During the last 5 years, my brother, sisters, and I used the service of Inmate Aid. We won't be needing the InmateAis service anymore. It always worked out great and we would like to thank you for the good service.
My review is the service was wonderful and very accommodating, I never knew there was this kind of service before. As I searched the website and got the information I read and reread til I understood how the service work. I followed the step as stated in the information. And immediately the service was working for my inmate. Most importantly when I needed my questions answered they were answered immediately. Thanks again for this great service.
User friendly website and quick process of the services. Also very easy to use. Fenny K.
It's a nice system to have
Inmate aid is definitely the most responsive group of people. Everyone I have dealt with in the last 2 years has been marvelous! Especially Courtney! She is just so human and real (you know, as opposed to reading me that "scripted" response). I recommend you to everyone in my situation. Thankfully, I don't know many...lol.
Thanks for your help. I love this website. I'm glad I have the ability to send pics and letters.
It's great to know about this service and I will surely use it in the future if needed. Nothing against all of you lol but I hope it's not needed. It certainly has been helpful and everyone is very helpful.
