Every state prison has a Commissary that serves to provide prisoners a bank type account for inmate money and for purchasing things not provided by the facility.

Friends, family, or other people may deposit money to these Commissary 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 the postal service and have to send funds to this address and do so in accordance with the directions provided below:

The deposit has to be in the form of a money order made out to the prisoner’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 hold, during which the inmate will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that do not have correct inmate info if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Cash and personal checks cannot be accepted for deposit so do not send any checks or cash.
