Family, friends, or other sources can add funds to these accounts with Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners funds in the postal service and will have to send those funds to the following address and do so in accordance with the directions provided below:

The deposit must be a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number.
