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

Family, friends, or other sources can deposit funds to prisoner’s accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send prisoners funds in the mail and must send funds to the address below and follow the policies written below:

The funds must be in the form of a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a postal 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 in this time the inmate will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that do not have correct inmate info if the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and checks cannot be deposited to the inmate’s account so do not send any checks or cash.
