Every prison has a Commissary that serves to provide a bank-like account for prisoner funds and for buying items not issued by the correctional facility.

Anyone may deposit money to these accounts with Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send prisoners funds by way of the mail and will have to send money to the following address and do so in accordance with the policies listed below:

The deposit must be in a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day holding period, and during this hold period the prisoner will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that don’t have appropriate inmate info provided the envelope has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash will not be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send any cash or checks.
