Every state correctional institution has a Commissary that was started to provide prisoners a bank-like account for inmate money and for buying things not provided by the prison.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people may add money into these accounts with the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send inmates funds in the mail and will have to send funds to the address below and do so in accordance with the rules provided below:

The deposit has to be in the form of a money order made out to the inmate’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 that are processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold period, and in this time the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return any funds that do not have valid inmate information if the envelope it was sent it has a return address. Cash and personal checks cannot be accepted so do not send any checks or cash.
