Every state correctional institution has a Commissary which was created to provide prisoners an account for inmate money and for buying items not issued regularly by the correctional facility.

Family, friends, or other sources can add money into these Commissary accounts with the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can to send inmates money through the mail and have to send funds to the address below and do so in accordance with the policies written below:

The money has to be in the form of a money order that is 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 prisoner will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that do not have valid inmate information but only if the envelope it was sent it has a valid return address. Personal checks and cash cannot be accepted for deposit so don’t send any cash or checks.
