Each state correctional institution has a Commissary that serves to provide prisoners a bank type account for inmate money and for buying items not issued regularly by the prison.

Family, friends, or other sources may deposit funds into these accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send inmates money by way of postal mail and will have to send the money to this address and follow the directions listed below:

The money must be in 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 processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold, during which the inmate will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that don’t have valid inmate info provided the envelope it was sent it has a valid return address. Cash and checks will not be deposited so do not send any checks or cash.
