Every state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide a bank account for prisoner money and for purchasing things not issued regularly by the prison.

Anyone may send funds into these accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send inmates money through postal mail and have to send money to the address below and follow the policies listed below:

The money has to be in a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day hold period, in which the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that do not have appropriate prisoner information provided the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash can’t be deposited so don’t send any cash or checks.
