Every prison has a Commissary that serves to provide inmates a bank-like account for inmate monies and for purchasing things not provided by the correctional facility.

Friends, family, or other people may add money to these accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send prisoners money through the mail and must send funds to the address below and follow the rules written below:

The money must be in the form of a money order that is made out to the inmate’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 subject to a 15-day holding period, in which the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will send back any funds that do not have valid inmate info provided the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and checks won’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so do not send any cash or checks.
