Every state prison has a Commissary which was started to provide inmates an account for inmate monies and for buying things not provided by the facility.

Friends, family, or other people may deposit money to prisoner’s accounts using Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send prisoners funds by way of the mail and will have to send it to the address below and do so in accordance with the directions shows below:

The deposit must be a money order 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 subject to a 15-day holding period, during which the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that do not have valid prisoner info provided the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Personal checks and cash will not be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send any checks or cash.
