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

Anyone can deposit funds to prisoner’s accounts by sending it by Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners money through postal mail and have to send those funds to the address below and do so in accordance with the steps listed below:

The funds have to be in a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day holding period, in which the prisoner will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that don’t have appropriate prisoner info but only if the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Cash and personal checks cannot be deposited to the prisoner’s account so do not send cash or checks.
