Each state correctional institution has a Commissary which was created to provide an account for inmate funds and for buying items not issued regularly by the facility.

Anyone can deposit funds to inmate’s accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners funds in the postal service and have to send it to this address and follow the directions shows below:

The funds have to be a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a U.S. Postal Service 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 period the prisoner will not have access to the funds.
