Each state correctional institution has a Commissary that was created to provide a bank-like account for inmate funds and for purchasing things not issued regularly by the prison.

Friends, family, or other people can send money to inmate’s accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

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

The deposit has to be in the form of a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day hold period, and in this time the prisoner will not have access to the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that don’t have correct prisoner info if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash cannot be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send cash or checks.
