Every prison has a Commissary that was started to provide inmates an account for inmate monies and for buying items not issued to inmates by the facility.

Anyone may send funds to inmate’s Commissary accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send inmates money by way of the mail and will have to send it to the following address and do so in accordance with the directions listed below:

The money has to be a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day holding period, and during this hold period the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that don’t have appropriate inmate information if the envelope has a valid return address. Cash and personal checks can’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send cash or checks.
