Inmate Search

Any inmate that has ever been housed at a federal security prison since 1982 can be located by doing an online search here. You can find out anything you need to know about inmates via this tool. You will be able to see when they were released or when their scheduled released date is.

Sending a Mail/Care Package

The address to use to send an inmate mail is:

Inmate Name & Register Number
McRae Correctional Facility
112 JIM HAMMOCK DRIVE MCRAE HELENA, GA, 31055

Do not forget that mail will be screened. If you mark the envelope as “special,” the McRae Correctional Facility staff can only open it in the presence of the inmate.

Sending Money

There are three main ways to send money to an inmate:

1. Send money through Moneygram by calling 1-800-926-9400 or visiting the Money gram website. Inmates will typically receive the money within a couple hours.

2. Use Western Union to send money by calling 1-800-634-3422 or going to the Western Union website.

3. Lastly, you can send a money order in the mail, which will need to be processed through the federal prison processing system in Iowa.

Inmates will use the money to either buy items at the McRae Correctional Facility commissary or to make phone calls.

Phone calls

There are two things an inmate at the McRae Correctional Facility needs to be able to call you:

1. You need to be on his preapproved list.

2. He needs money in his commissary account. If there is no money in his account, he cannot call you.

Even though you cannot call an inmate, it is pretty easy to get him set up to call you.

Visitation

Once you have confirmed the whereabouts of an inmate, proceed with filling out a visitation application, so you can get approved for a visit. This will likely involve a background check, so be upfront about any criminal activity in your background. After you are approved you can schedule a visit.
