Each prison has a Commissary that was created to provide prisoners a bank account for inmate monies and for buying items not issued by the facility.

Friends, family, or other people may send funds to inmate’s Commissary 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 in the postal service and must send funds to this address and follow the policies written below:

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