Anyone can deposit money to prisoner’s Commissary accounts with the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners funds by way of the mail and have to send money to the following address and follow the steps provided below:

The money has to be in the form of a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number.
