Every prison has a Commissary which was created to provide inmates an account for prisoner money and for buying things not issued by the correctional facility.

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 are able to send inmates funds by way of postal mail and have to send those funds to this address and do so in accordance with the rules written below:

The funds have to be in the form of a money order that is made out to the prisoner’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 processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day hold, 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 you sent it in has a valid return address. Cash and personal checks will not be deposited to the inmate’s account so do not send any cash or checks.
