Each state prison has a Commissary that serves to provide a bank account for prisoner funds and for buying items not provided by the facility.

Family, friends, or other sources can send money to inmate’s accounts with the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends are able to send inmates money by way of the postal service and have to send it to the following address and do so in accordance with the directions shows below:

The deposit has to be a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day holding period, and in this time the prisoner will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that don’t have valid inmate info if the envelope has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash cannot be deposited so don’t send any cash or checks.
