Anyone can deposit funds to prisoner’s accounts using Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates funds by way of the postal service and will have to send it to this address and do so in accordance with the rules shows below:

The money has to be in a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, and in this time the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that do not have valid prisoner information if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address.
