Each prison has a Commissary that was created to provide prisoners a bank account for prisoner money and for buying items not provided by the Bureau of Prisons.

Friends, family, or other people can deposit funds into these accounts by sending it by Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send prisoners money through the postal service and have to send those funds to the address below and follow the policies listed below:

The money must be a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day hold, and in this time the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that don’t have appropriate prisoner information but only if the envelope you sent it in has a valid return address. Cash and personal checks won’t be deposited to the prisoner’s account so do not send any checks or cash.
