Sending a Mail/Care Package

While you can mark an envelope as “special,” which means the FCI Herlong staff will only be permitted to open mail in the presence of the inmate, all mail you send will indeed be open and inspected prior to delivery. The difference is whether or not the inmate is present when it is opened.

Sending Money

Commissary accounts are very important inmates’ well-being, and they cannot get money in their accounts without your help. With money in their accounts, they can make phone calls and buy necessities.

By far, the best way to send money is by Moneygram or by Western Union, as funds are processed quickly. You can do this on the Moneygram website or on the Western Union website.

You can send a money order, but no personal checks or cash. Money orders will be slower to deliver since they need to go through the federal prison processing system in Iowa.

Phone calls

Once you get added to the list of people an inmate can call, they can call you as long as they have money in their commissary account. Inmates at the FCI Herlong will not be able to receive incoming phone calls.
