We have given below important need to know information such as how to find someone at FCI Berlin, how to send money, mail, care packages and visit an inmate.

How to Find Someone in FCI Berlin

FCI Berlin is a federal prison. The easiest way to lookup an inmate in federal prisons is going to the BOP website. They have a database where you can search all federal inmates.

Sending a Mail/Care Package

Inmates can receive mail. The address to address the envelope for the main campus is as follows: 

Inmate Name & Register Number
FCI Berlin
Federal Correctional Institution
P.O. Box 9000
Berlin, NH 03570

For the satellite campus, you will want to address the envelope as follows:

Inmate Name & Register Number
FCI Berlin
Satellite Prison Camp
P.O. Box 9000
Berlin, NH 03570

Sending Money

You can put money into your inmate's commissary account by Western Union or MoneyGram. Each option you can do online or in person.

You will need to the following information

• Inmate Name
• Register Number (inmate number)
• City (always will be FBOP)
• State (always will be DC)

If you can’t get down to either Western Union or MoneyGram, you can send money directly to their PO box. That information is:

INMATE NAME & REGISTER NUMBER
P.O. Box 474702
Des Moines, Iowa 50947

Do NOT send money to an inmate using the FCI Berlin address. All funds sent through the mail must be addressed to a processing center in Des Moines, Iowa. This applies to all Federal inmates, regardless of where they are incarcerated.

Email

The last way to stay in touch with an inmate at FCI Berlin is through email. Email is also through Trulincs.

The email program is funded by the inmate trust fund, which is kept up with purchases from the commissary, the telephone service, and fees paid directly to Trulincs.

Emails are monitored and screened for content not suitable for them.

Admissions and Orientation Handbook

Your first day in prison, you are bombarded with a ton of information. One booklet you will be giving is the Admissions and Orientation (A&O) Handbook. 

This handbook will supply you with general information about the prison itself alongside the prison’s rules, programs, and regulations you will have to follow while you are serving out your sentence. 

It will be in your best interest to familiarize yourself with handbook as it is your responsibility to transition smoothly to prison life.

Commissary

The commissary was founded in 1930 by the Department of Justice. The Commissary was placed in all Federal Institutions. 

The commissary allows inmates to shop for “luxury” items while they are in prison. Funds are typically deposited by their friends, families, and their prison jobs. 

Inmates have a spending limit of $360 per month. The commissary is only open on a designated day of the week where they can utilize the shop. 

All federal prisons have their commissary list with prices available to the public.

Legal Activities

Even when in prison, you may still need legal counsel. There are strict procedures one will have to follow to obtain legal reference materials alongside their legal counsel.

There are also many opportunities to be taken advantage of to afford the proposal of legal documents when behind bars.  

All procedures for legal activities can be located here.
