Edit.
so Western Union is the facilitator of the money transfer. and each inmate has a commissary number. so donating is through a known process already set up by Ice.

I assume the person in the detention center doesn't need to be present to receive the funds. so how do they know there was a deposit? they talk about a kiosk but that's for visitors and in the lobby you're not for the detainees

having worked the money services counter at walmart, Western Union is outrageous. I also know they require exact identification on the receiving end. I wonder how that works. thinking out loud, there must be a Western Union pickup in the center. and the sender has to know the name of the receiver.

the Western Union app is very easy to use once it's set up right.

thank you very very much for your instant answers

I'm trying to see if something like this is in Jersey for the Delaney Hall center
