Every state prison has a Commissary which was created to provide inmates a bank type account for inmate funds and for purchasing things not issued regularly by the correctional facility.

Friends, family, or other people may deposit money into these accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send inmates money in postal mail and will have to send money to the address below and follow the rules given 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. You should use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold, and during this period the inmate will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back funds that don’t have valid inmate information if the envelope has a valid return address. Checks and cash will not be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send any cash or checks.
