Each prison has a Commissary that serves to provide prisoners a bank account for inmate monies and for buying things not provided by the prison.

Anyone can add money to inmate’s accounts using Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send inmates funds by way of postal mail and have to send funds to the address below and follow the directions listed below:

The deposit has to be 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 postal money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day holding period, and in this time the prisoner will not get the money. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that don’t have valid inmate info but only if the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Cash and personal checks won’t be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send any cash or checks.
