Subject: Funds for Federal Bureau of Prisons' Inmates

You have mailed fundsto an inmate incarcerated with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The institution housing this inmate has accepted these funds. However, the Federal Bureau of Prisons requires that all funds being mailed to inmates be sent to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' national Lockbox. In the future, if you wish to send funds to inmates incarcerated in the Federal Bureau of Prisons, you must send them to the following address:

Federal Bureau of Prisons
Inmate Name
Register Number
PO Box 800073
Marietta, Georgia 30068-8073

In order to ensure that your funds are processed without delay to the inmate's Trust Fund account, you must adhere to the following directions:
The inmate's name and register number must be printed on all money orders; US Treasury, state, and local government checks; and any foreign negotiable instruments payable in US currency.

DO NOT enclose cash, personal checks, letters, pictures or any other items in the envelope. Enclose only the allowable negotiable instrument. The national Lockbox can not forward any items enclosed with the negotiable instrument to the inmate. Items, personal in nature, must be mailed directly to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' institution where the inmate is housed.

Your name and return address must appear on the upper left hand corner of the envelope to ensure that your funds can be returned to you in the event that they can not be posted to the inmate's account.

I, for one, believe it's so, after being skeptical because it's not the same way everywhere. Billy has not heard of it, although I've heard that it's pertaining to female prisons...I don't know why it would be different than male. I don't have to send Billy's money to GA...just to where he's at.
