Every state prison has a Commissary that was created to provide inmates a bank account for inmate funds and for buying items not provided by the facility.

Family, friends, or other sources can add money to prisoner’s Commissary accounts with Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send prisoners money through the mail and must send funds to the following address and follow the directions shows below:

The deposit has to be in the form of a money order 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 subject to a 15-day hold, during which the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender funds that do not have valid prisoner information but only if the envelope you sent it in has a valid return address. Cash and personal checks can’t be accepted for deposit so do not send any checks or cash.
