    How does an inmate receive money?

    Inmates have a trust fund or calling account where any money they receive will be deposited. As well as being sent money, prisoners can earn it from their institutional work assignments. The amount they receive is based on the Inmate Performance Pay scale, which is significantly less than they would earn outside of prison.

    When you send money, always keep the receipt and order number to track it, in case there are any problems.
