Each state correctional institution has a Commissary that was started to provide a bank-like account for inmate monies and for buying items not issued to inmates by the Bureau of Prisons.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people may add funds to these Commissary accounts using the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners money through the mail and must send funds to the following address and do so in accordance with the rules written 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 should use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day holding period, in which the inmate will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender funds that don’t have valid prisoner info but only if the envelope it was sent it has a return address.
