Every state correctional institution has a Commissary which was started to provide prisoners a bank type account for prisoner funds and for buying things not provided by the correctional facility.

Friends, family, or other people can send money into these accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

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

The money has to be in a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day hold, and in this time the prisoner will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender funds that do not have valid prisoner info if the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and personal checks can’t be accepted so do not send cash or checks.
