Friends, family, or other people can deposit money to these accounts using Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send prisoners money in the postal service and must send funds to the following address and do so in accordance with the steps written below:

The deposit must be in a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number.
