Anyone may deposit money to these Commissary accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send inmates funds by way of postal mail and have to send it to this address and do so in accordance with the directions shows below:

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