Every state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide a bank account for inmate monies and for purchasing things not issued by the prison.

Anyone may send money into these accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners funds through the mail and will have to send the money to this address and follow the policies listed below:

The funds have to 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 should use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, and during this hold period the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that do not have valid inmate information if the envelope has a valid return address. Cash and checks won’t be accepted for deposit so don’t send checks or cash.
