Each prison has a Commissary which was created to provide inmates an account for prisoner funds and for purchasing things not issued by the prison.

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

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates funds through postal mail and will have to send those funds to this address and do so in accordance with the policies provided below:

The funds have to be in the form of a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day holding period, during which the inmate will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that do not have correct prisoner information provided the envelope it was sent it has a return address. Checks and cash cannot be deposited so do not send any cash or checks.
