How to get on the visiting list

In their first days, the Unit Team tells your loved one to turn in a list of people they want to visit.
The list can hold immediate family (brothers, sisters, mother, father, wife and children) plus 10 other people. Immediate family is normally approved.
Anyone else fills out background information forms from the Unit Counselor and mails them back. They must have known your loved one before prison unless the Warden approves.
It is their job to tell you if you are approved. Do not drive until they do.
They can ask to change the list on the first Monday of each month.
A visitor is not normally on more than one inmate's list unless related to both.

How to send money to an inmate here

Use their committed name exactly as the BOP Inmate Locator shows it. The name and number below are examples (JOHN ANTHONY SMITH-JONES, 12345-678).

Money never goes to Morgantown. It goes to the BOP, and the BOP puts it on their account. There are 3 ways. Each one below shows you the actual form and exactly what to write in each box, already filled in with their name and number.

First, they must sign the power-of-attorney form (BP-A0407) when they arrive. Until they do, MoneyGram and Western Union money cannot post. Click here to read the source: Program Statement 4500.13, Trust Fund/Deposit Fund Manual (May 7, 2026) ↗

1. Postal money order Our pick

"Postal" means the U.S. Post Office. A postal money order is one you buy at the counter of a U.S. Post Office, from the United States Postal Service. Money orders sold at Walmart, a grocery store, a bank, Western Union, MoneyGram or a check-cashing store are not postal money orders.

Why it matters: a postal money order has no hold. Once the BOP's lockbox in Des Moines gets it, it goes on their account. Every other money order and every personal or company check is put on a 15-day hold first, and the 15 days only start when the lockbox receives the envelope. Add the days it spends in the mail, and it can be close to three weeks before they can spend it.Click here to read the source: BOP, Sending money by U.S. mail ↗ Click here to read the source: FPC Morgantown Admission and Orientation Handbook (updated June 4, 2024) ↗ Foreign money orders and checks are held 45 days. The postal money order is also the cheapest way.

The Post Office's own steps

Decide the amount. Up to $1,000 in one money order.
Go to any Post Office.
Bring cash or a debit card. The Post Office does not take credit cards for money orders.
Fill it out at the counter with the clerk. Use the boxes below.
Pay the amount plus the fee: $2.65 for up to $500, $3.75 for $500.01 to $1,000.
Keep your receipt. You need it to track the money order or replace it if it is lost.Click here to read the source: U.S. Postal Service, Money Orders ↗

You need a photo ID to set up the account: your name must match your ID exactly.

Go to send2corrections.com or the Send2Corrections app. Log in or register.

Receiver first name, middle name (optional), last name: exactly as the BOP has it.
Commissary number: type only the 8 digits, 12345678. No dash, no name. The site adds the last name itself and shows the full account number in a grey box you cannot type in.
Ignore the pop-up that says "BOP number will not work." That text shows for every prison. The register number is what works.
Amount: $1 to $300. Pay by card, or choose "Pay Cash (in-store)" and pay at a Western Union counter within 12 hours, or it cancels.

Hyphenated last name? The site drops the hyphen: Smith-Jones becomes 12345678SMITHJONES.

Money sent to the wrong person is not returned by Western Union. Western Union payments cannot be changed after they are sent.

Commissary: what they can spend

Morgantown's handbook (updated June 4, 2024) says they can spend $360.00 a month. Stamps, over-the-counter medicine and phone credits do not count. National BOP policy (PS 4500.13, May 7, 2026) is $460 a month, plus $50 more in November and December. Call to find out which limit Morgantown uses now. Anyone in "refusal" status on the court-fine payment plan may spend only $25.00 a month.

The commissary is open Tuesday through Thursday (not holidays). Inmates are called to line up after breakfast mainline and after lunch mainline. SHU sales are normally on Thursday.
They shop once a day, on their designated week and day. Trying to shop twice the same day earns an incident report.

There is a $300 limit per quarter on special purchases.

Deaths announced by the BOP

We found no deaths at Morgantown announced by the BOP.

We found no BOP press release announcing a death at Morgantown (checked November 3, 2026). The BOP does not publish a full count of deaths at each prison, so this does not mean no one has died there.

Sexual abuse audit (PREA)

The last federal sexual-abuse (PREA) audit visited Morgantown March 26 to 27, 2024. Result: 2 standards exceeded, 39 met, 0 not met. In the 12 months before the audit, Morgantown recorded no sexual-abuse allegations and 1 sexual-harassment allegation (against staff).
