Every state correctional institution has a Commissary that was started to provide a bank-like account for prisoner money and for buying items not issued to inmates by the correctional facility.

Family, friends, or other sources can deposit money to inmate’s Commissary accounts using Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners funds through the mail and will have to send funds to the address below and do so in accordance with the rules given below:

The deposit must be in a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is best if you use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold, and during this period the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that do not have correct inmate information provided the envelope has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash can’t be accepted for deposit so do not send any checks or cash.
