Every state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide prisoners a bank type account for inmate monies and for buying things not issued by the facility.

Friends, family, or other people can deposit money to inmate’s accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send inmates funds by way of the postal service and will have to send funds to the address below and follow the steps provided below:

The money must be in a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, and during this period the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return any funds that do not have correct inmate information provided the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Cash and personal checks won’t be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send checks or cash.
