Each state correctional institution has a Commissary which serves to provide a bank type account for inmate funds and for purchasing things not issued regularly by the prison.

Anyone can add funds into these accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send inmates money by way of postal mail and will have to send money to this address and do so in accordance with the rules provided below:

The money must be in a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to 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 period the inmate will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that do not have appropriate prisoner info but only if the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Personal checks and cash can’t be accepted for deposit so don’t send any checks or cash.
