Each state correctional institution has a Commissary that serves to provide inmates a bank-like account for prisoner money and for buying things not provided by the prison.

Friends, family, or other people may add funds to 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 in the postal service and will have to send money to the address below and follow the rules provided below:

The deposit must 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 that are processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day holding period, and during this period the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that don’t have valid prisoner info if the envelope has a return address. Cash and checks can’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send any checks or cash.
