Every state prison has a Commissary which was created to provide prisoners a bank-like account for inmate money and for buying things not issued to inmates by the prison.

How to Send an Inmate Money

Friends, family, or other people may deposit 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 inmates funds by way of the postal service and have to send those funds to this address and do so in accordance with the steps shows 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. It is advisable to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day holding period, and during this period the prisoner will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that do not have correct inmate info but only if the envelope you sent it in has a valid return address.
