Anyone may send money to inmate’s Commissary accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send inmates money by way of the postal service and must send the money to the address below and do so in accordance with the rules shows below:

The money must be in a money order that is 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 holding period, during which the prisoner will not have access to the money. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that don’t have appropriate prisoner information provided the envelope it was sent it has a valid return address.
