Every state prison has a Commissary which was started to provide an account for inmate monies and for purchasing things not issued by the correctional facility.

Family, friends, or other sources may add money to these Commissary accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send prisoners money by way of postal mail and will have to send it to the address below and do so in accordance with the rules given below:

The deposit must be in the form of a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day hold, during which the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will send back funds that don’t have correct inmate information but only if the envelope has a return address. Checks and cash will not be deposited so do not send cash or checks.
