Every prison has a Commissary that was created to provide prisoners a bank account for prisoner money and for buying things not provided by the facility.

Anyone can add 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 are able to send inmates funds in the mail and have to send those funds to the address below and follow the directions provided below:

The funds must be a money order that is made out to the prisoner’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 kept for a 15-day holding period, and during this hold period the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that don’t have correct inmate information but only if the envelope it was sent it has a valid return address. Cash and personal checks can’t be deposited so do not send any checks or cash.
