Every state correctional institution has a Commissary that was started to provide prisoners a bank type account for inmate monies and for buying things not provided by the facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people may add funds to these accounts by sending it by Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send prisoners money in postal mail and must send the money to this address and follow the policies written below:

The money has to be a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day holding period, and during this period the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that don’t have valid prisoner info if the envelope has a return address. Checks and cash will not be accepted for deposit so don’t send checks or cash.
