All inmates are set-up with a finance account during their intake process. This account holds any money that was in their possession at the time of Intake and any money earned from work details, as well as deposits made by family and friends. Family and friends can send money to a Department of Corrections inmate through Western Union, OffenderConnect, or by using the Inmate Connector Kiosk in the Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF) lobby, 1901 E Street, SE, Washington, DC 20003.
