Friends, family, or other people may add funds to prisoner’s Commissary accounts using Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send inmates money through the postal service and must send the money to this address and do so in accordance with the policies given below:

The money must be in a money order that is made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number.
