Every prison has a Commissary which was created to provide prisoners a bank type account for inmate money and for buying things not provided by the Bureau of Prisons.

Anyone may deposit funds to prisoner’s accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates money in the mail and will have to send funds to this address and follow the directions provided below:

The funds must be a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to 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 period, during which the inmate will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will send back funds that do not have correct inmate information provided the envelope has an adequate return address. Cash and checks won’t be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send checks or cash.
