Each state prison has a Commissary that serves to provide prisoners a bank-like account for inmate funds and for buying things not issued by the correctional facility.

Anyone may send money to prisoner’s accounts using the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send inmates money by way of the postal service and have to send those funds to the address below and follow the policies given below:

The funds have to be in a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day holding period, and in this time the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return any funds that don’t have correct inmate info provided the envelope has an adequate return address. Cash and checks can’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send cash or checks.
