Hey,
I wanted to send some money from Australia to my penpal for his bday but it turns out not to be as easy as I first anticipated. I was just wondering if anyone from overseas has had success in sending funds and can give me some advice??
Thanks :)

Sending funds via..... ?
Use jpay...you need to.open an account..but thats free...then if you PP has institutional jpay you can write to each other..if you put the app gor jpay on your phone its so easy..the option to send money is right there...it does cost 1.50$ tho
He doesn’t have jpay at his facility. It’s difficult trying to do it through western union or money gram as I don’t reside in America.
There's a couple tricks... I have a jmail box account. But you can use a US address that your familiar with and you think its safe (You will need a US address). Once you put in your US address you can use Western Union to send money to inmates. Alternatively you should be able to do it over the counter at any Western Union depot in your area... Look up your nearest one (there's lots of them in Australia).
I just found out that JPay also offers to make payments to BOP inmates on your behalf, using MoneyGram. So that makes things a lot easier: https://www.jpay.com/PMoneyTransfer.aspx
This is good information for all of us... Thank you...
I can confirm it works and it is quick - she got the money in a couple of hours, considering it is Saturday.
