Every state correctional institution has a Commissary that was started to provide inmates an account for inmate funds and for buying things not provided by the Bureau of Prisons.

Anyone can send funds into these Commissary accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send inmates money by way of postal mail and must send those funds to the address below and do so in accordance with the policies given below:

The money must be in the form of a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day hold, and in this time the prisoner will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that don’t have correct inmate information if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address.
