Each state correctional institution has a Commissary that serves to provide prisoners a bank-like account for prisoner money and for purchasing things not issued by the facility.

Friends, family, or other people may deposit funds to prisoner’s Commissary accounts with the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners funds through postal mail and must send money to this address and follow the policies written below:

The deposit must be in the form of a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day hold, in which the prisoner will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that don’t have correct prisoner info provided the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Checks and cash will not be accepted for deposit so don’t send cash or checks.
