Every state correctional institution has a Commissary which was started to provide prisoners a bank type account for inmate money and for buying things not issued regularly by the facility.

Family, friends, or other sources may deposit money 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 prisoners funds in the mail and have to send the money to the address below and do so in accordance with the rules written below:

The money must be a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold, during which the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that don’t have valid inmate info if the envelope has a valid return address. Cash and personal checks will not be accepted for deposit so do not send checks or cash.
