Each state correctional institution has a Commissary that was created to provide inmates an account for prisoner money and for buying things not issued to inmates by the prison.

Anyone can deposit money to prisoner’s accounts with Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates funds in the mail and have to send those funds to the address below and do so in accordance with the directions listed below:

The funds have to be a money order made out to the prisoner’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 subject to a 15-day hold, during which the inmate will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back any funds that don’t have correct inmate info but only if the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Personal checks and cash will not be deposited so don’t send any checks or cash.
