Sending Money

Sending money to inmates at the FCI Yazoo City Low is one way you can help their morale. They rely on their commissary accounts to make phone calls and purchase items from the commissary. Without funds, they do not have access.

The best way to send money is through Moneygram by calling 662-751-4800 or going to the Moneygram website.

Western Union is another option to consider for sending money as long as you have the inmate's eight digit register number with and the inmate's last name.

You can also send a money order, but processing it will be delayed. Inmates rely on money to purchase items in the FCI Yazoo City Low commissary or to make phone calls, so a delay could be inconvenient for an inmate.

Phone calls

The best way to make sure you can talk to an inmate on the phone is to make sure he has money in his commissary account. While an inmate at the FCI Yazoo City Low cannot receive a phone call, he can call you if he has the money for it and you are approved.

1. First, locate the inmate using the inmate search
