Each state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide a bank type account for inmate monies and for purchasing things not provided by the facility.

Family, friends, or other sources may deposit money to these accounts using Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send prisoners money through the mail and have to send it to the following address and follow the rules provided below:

The money has to be in the form of a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold, and during this period the inmate will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender funds that do not have appropriate prisoner information provided the envelope has a return address. Personal checks and cash won’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send any cash or checks.
