Each prison has a Commissary that was created to provide a bank account for prisoner funds and for purchasing things not issued by the facility.

Family, friends, or other sources can add money to prisoner’s accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send prisoners funds through the postal service and will have to send it to the following address and follow the steps listed below:

The money must be in a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold period, in which the prisoner will not have access to the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that don’t have valid inmate info provided the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Cash and checks won’t be accepted so don’t send any checks or cash.
