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

Friends, family, or other people can send money into these accounts by sending it by Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send inmates funds in the mail and have to send those funds to the following address and follow the policies provided below:

The funds 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 post office money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold, and during this hold period the inmate will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that don’t have valid prisoner info if the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and checks can’t be accepted for deposit so don’t send checks or cash.
