Each state prison has a Commissary that was created to provide prisoners an account for inmate funds and for purchasing things not issued to inmates by the correctional facility.

Friends, family, or other people may send money into these accounts using Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send prisoners funds through the postal service and have to send the money to the address below and follow the policies given below:

The funds have to be in 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 placed on a 15-day hold period, during which the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that do not have correct inmate information if the envelope has a valid return address. Cash and checks will not be accepted for deposit so do not send checks or cash.
