| 04-15071 | Inmate Commissary Account Deposit Procedures | Rule | In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) amends its regulations on how an inmate may receive funds from family, friends, and other sources. Under previous regulation, funds intended for any inmate's use were included in correspondence sent to the inmate or left with staff as part of visiting. Staff at the institution arranged for the deposit of these funds into the inmate's account. Under the new regulations, funds from family, friends, or other sources will no longer be sent to the inmate but will instead be sent directly to a centralized inmate commissary account in the form of a money order for receipt and posting. Under the new rule, we will not accept funds sent by family or friends to the inmate's location. Instead, we will return them to the sender, provided there is an adequate return address. We intend this amendment to provide for the more efficient processing of inmate funds. | 2004-07-02 | 2004 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/07/02/04-15071/inmate-commissary-account-deposit-procedures | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-07-02/pdf/04-15071.pdf | Justice Department; Prisons Bureau | 268,437 | In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) amends its regulations on how an inmate may receive funds from family, friends, and other sources.
