Every state correctional institution has a Commissary that serves to provide prisoners a bank-like account for inmate funds and for buying things not issued by the Bureau of Prisons.

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

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send inmates funds in postal mail and have to send funds to the address below and do so in accordance with the policies shows below:

The deposit has to be a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, in which the inmate will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that do not have appropriate inmate info provided the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and personal checks cannot be deposited so do not send any cash or checks.
