Each prison has a Commissary that was created to provide inmates a bank-like account for inmate monies and for buying items not provided by the correctional facility.

Anyone can deposit money to these accounts with the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates money through the mail and will have to send those funds to the following address and follow the rules shows below:

The funds must be in a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day hold period, and during this period the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back funds that do not have valid inmate information provided the envelope has a valid return address. Cash and checks won’t be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send any checks or cash.
