Family, friends, or other sources may send funds to inmate’s Commissary accounts with Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners money in the postal service and will have to send funds to this address and do so in accordance with the policies given below:

The money must 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.
