Each state prison has a Commissary which was started to provide prisoners a bank type account for inmate funds and for buying things not provided by the Bureau of Prisons.

Family, friends, or other sources can deposit funds to inmate’s accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates money by way of the mail and must send funds to the following address and follow the steps provided below:

The funds have to be a money order 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 that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day holding period, during which the inmate will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that don’t have appropriate inmate information provided the envelope has a return address. Checks and cash cannot be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send any cash or checks.
