Every state correctional institution has a Commissary which was started to provide a bank account for prisoner money and for buying items not issued regularly by the facility.

Family, friends, or other sources can deposit funds into these Commissary accounts using Western Union or by mail.

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

The deposit has to be 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 kept 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 any funds that do not have correct inmate info if the envelope has a valid return address. Checks and cash cannot be accepted for deposit so do not send any cash or checks.
