yes, if you have their inmate id (52490-509) and the money transfer company (Western Union). But, these guys have plenty of money, so why wouldn't you send them your best selfie or a letter?

The money you send an inmate should not put you or your family in financial difficulties trying to help with a few extras. If money is not an issue, then try to send $50-75 per meek, that would have them living like a boss in there.

If you surrender and have money with you, the staff will place it in their inmate trust account for use on the phone or commissary

they are given a receipt from their case manager or counselor

Wow, what a fantastic gesture. There are over 2 million people incarcerated in US jails and prisons. There are hundreds of thousands that have no one contributing to their commissary or phone account. We do not have a particular case in mind but if we do, we will let you know.

Once it's paid back, you can immediately add money to their trust account.

The prison provides the basics necessary to do their time without any problems. However, they will not be able to make telephone calls or purchase anything at the commissary. We would guess that a good percentage of inmates get money sent in for the little extras that help make their time easier to do. If you can send money, it would be appreciated but do not send money you do not have (like taking a loan or putting it on your credit card).
