Every state correctional institution has a Commissary which serves to provide a bank type account for inmate funds and for buying items not issued by the prison.

Family, friends, or other sources may send funds to these Commissary accounts using the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send inmates funds in postal mail and must send money to the address below and follow the rules given below:

The deposit must be in a money order 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 processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day holding period, and during this hold period the inmate will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that don’t have valid inmate info but only if the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Personal checks and cash cannot be accepted so don’t send cash or checks.
