Every state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide inmates an account for inmate funds and for purchasing things not issued by the correctional facility.

Family, friends, or other sources can deposit funds to these accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send prisoners funds in postal mail and will have to send funds to the address below and follow the rules provided below:

The funds have to be a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day holding period, in which the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that don’t have correct inmate info provided the envelope it was sent it has a return address. Personal checks and cash can’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so do not send cash or checks.

Harvest: The Recovery Services Department at the Southeastern Correctional Institution offers a reentry-approved, earned credit-approved three month cognitive behavioral therapy alcohol and drug treatment program. The Harvest Intensive Outpatient treatment program focuses on helping participants develop cognitive strategies and positive behavioral skills to restructure their lifestyle. Upon successful completion of the program, participants are eligible for continuing care services that include professionally facilitated group meetings and Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous fellowship meetings.
Intensive Program Prison: Ohio’s first boot camp, Camp Reams, is a voluntary program that allows the offender a second chance to change. Program eligibility is determined at the reception phase of the offender’s incarceration. The offender completes ninety days of actual incarceration and is then placed on post release supervision for an appropriate period of time. A day spent at the “camp” includes intensive offender programming, educational opportunities, physical training, and realistic community work assignments that challenge the offender to “give back to society” while assisting non-profit organizations and helping them reach their goals. Like other early release programs, offender accountability and commitment to change are necessary attributes for a successful reentry back to society.
