Every state correctional institution has a Commissary which was created to provide prisoners a bank-like account for prisoner money and for purchasing things not issued by the prison.

Anyone can send money to inmate’s Commissary accounts with Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates money through the mail and will have to send those funds to this address and follow the policies shows below:

The funds must be in the form of a money order that is made out to the prisoner’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 money. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that don’t have correct prisoner information if the envelope it was sent it has a return address. Checks and cash can’t be accepted so don’t send checks or cash.
