Each state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide an account for prisoner funds and for buying items not provided by the correctional facility.

Anyone may add money into these Commissary accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates money by way of the postal service and will have to send funds to this address and follow the policies shows below:

The funds must be 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 U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, and during this hold period the prisoner will not have access to the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that do not have appropriate inmate information provided the envelope you sent it in has a valid return address. Checks and cash cannot be deposited so don’t send any cash or checks.
