Every state correctional institution has a Commissary which was created to provide an account for prisoner money and for buying items not issued by the Bureau of Prisons.

Family, friends, or other sources can deposit money into these accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send prisoners funds in postal mail and have to send those funds to the following address and follow the policies listed below:

The funds have to be in the form of a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold period, and during this hold period the prisoner will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will send back funds that do not have appropriate prisoner info provided the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and checks cannot be accepted so don’t send cash or checks.
