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

Friends, family, or other people can add funds into these Commissary 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 funds by way of the postal service and have to send it to this address and follow the policies provided below:

The funds have to be a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold, and during this hold period the inmate will not have access to the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that do not have correct inmate information but only if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Checks and cash cannot be accepted so do not send any cash or checks.
