Friends, family, or other people may add money to prisoner’s accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners funds in the mail and will have to send it to this address 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.
