Every prison has a Commissary that was started to provide a bank-like account for prisoner money and for buying items not issued to inmates by the facility.

Anyone may add funds to prisoner’s accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners money through the mail and have to send the money to the address below and follow the directions shows below:

The deposit has to be a money order that is made out to the inmate’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, and in this time the prisoner will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender funds that do not have correct inmate info if the envelope has a return address. Cash and personal checks can’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so do not send any checks or cash.
