Usually you simply enclose a US Postal Service money order with a letter to the inmate, the money order is then deposited to his canteen account but you may want to either call the facility or write to the inmate and ask if there are asny special procedures...also look at http://www.prisontalk.com , someone there will already know the details for that facility.

Both the state of new york and the city department of corrections have inmate locator functions on their websites, and instructions on where to make deposits to inmate accounts.\n\nThe people who handle the money going into the inmate accounts should be able to answer your questions. if they don't there's always the inspector general at the agency.

2nd answer gives address and phone number. Talk to admitting Officer. You allowed to leave money for Inmates, but they are not allowed to have but so much per week. They will put money into an account for the Inmate.

http://prisontalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=294\nYou can post his information for free, lots of people have had really good results...read through some of the other posts to see what kind of information to provide.\nGood luck~! \n\nAnd to those who would consider becoming a penpal... What a lovely thing to do..you'll make someone's day by writing! Be careful though, get a Post Office Box so you don't have to give out your home address to total strangers and don't give out personal information too soon...basically the same rules you follow on the internet to keep safe. And remember that just like on-line, people might not be up-front about who they really are... if it feels like someone is lying or being pushy about a "relationship" drop them.\nWhen you first start writing, don't use any glitter or stickers because many facilities do not allow them.If you're under 18, you might not be allowed to write, some places only let minors write if they are family members(if that's the case writing to an inmate could get HIM in trouble, so don't do it)\nI hope you make a few good friends!

glad you asked, heres how it really works. i spent 4 years in tdc-texas department of corrections. we were an 'ag' (agriculture) unit. we grew okra, peas, cabbage, ect & packaged it for transport. the unit across from us was a steel unit producing the beams & panels used for the buildings that prisons are made of. ferguison was a textile unit that supplied the materials for mconnell unit to make the clothes, boots, sheets & mattresses. the point is, we are a self preservation society in prison. the $20,000 per inmate is a myth. look up TCI on the stock market, we made everything from toothbrushes to steel buildings for sale to the public. we are literal 'cash cows'. a free workforce that supports itself as well as produce goods for sale. communism in full effect. prisons are big money makers, dont be fooled.

Ok,Im from Indiana myself,Greenfield actually so wuddup.\nAnyway the address should be on the ticket and you send the ticket with the payment into that address.\nOr you could go to the county clerks office and pay it and get a receite.\nBut if you send it in dont send money. Use a check or money order.

This is the deal:  The inmate must fill up a package request\nlisting in there the items that he is expecting to receive. He will submit the request to the Warden's office where it will be reviewed and changed as  necessary.  The warden sign the request and returned to the inmate.  The inmate in turn will mail the request to you. Only the items listed in the request are allowed, you must place the request form inside the package,  Only prepackaged items are allowed so\ndo not send homemade cakes or cookies because they will be destroyed. Any item not listed in the request will be returned to you at the inmate's expense.  Security will open the package and will search with a fine comb  looking for contraband.  Check your local Corrections Department\nfor other guidelines.

I have an idea.  Why don't we send him to prison where he belongs and take that money and give it to his victims.

Someone here may be able to help http://www.prisontalk.com\n\nOr you can write to the CDCR\nCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation \n1515 S Street, Suite 502\nSacramento, CA 95814\n\nBut your request will be a long while in being read and 39c for a stamp, you may as well make the 3 minute phone call...don't any of your friends have a cell phone with free long distance?\nIf you decide to place the call, here's the information...\nTo locate an inmate within the California Department of Corrections, please call (916) 445-6713, which is available 24 hours a day. You must have either the inmate's CDC number, or the inmate's full name and date of birth to receive information. The Inmate Locator/ID Warrants will provide an inmate's location, mailing addresses and relevant phone numbers. The Inmate Locator/ID Warrants will not provide any future release date information. Please note that for new or transferring inmates it can take up to seven business days to update location information. \n\nGood luck!

Can we e-mail each other when you go to prison?

contact the prison, they may not want you to send cash, they may make it be money orders or checks or you may have to hand deliver.

He DOES need to do his taxes.\nHow to accomplish that depends a lot on where he is, each state has different policies about sending documents to inmates.\nYour best bet is to ask his trial lawyer for advice and call the prison and ask what their policy is for this situation.\nAlso, if you go to the appropriate state forum at http://prisontalk.com someone there should be able to help you out.

lol i used to live in barrington illinois.... go to a postal service... take some id with you, you'll need to write down your name, get them to exchange it into american dollars, write the name of the person ur sending it to... tell them to take id to claim the money.... they will give you a confirmation code... which you need to call and give the person who is collecting the money... they then go to the store (tell them to go to dominicks in barrington) and go to customer services and claim it there. just remember to tell them to take their id, they will have to prove its them! good luck\n(thats for western union)

None. You can use Western Union or just a bank transfer. What the Government is interested in is that you earned it legitimately and not that you used illegal means such as drugs.
