Every prison has a Commissary which was created to provide prisoners a bank-like account for inmate funds and for buying things not issued to inmates by the prison.

Anyone can send money to inmate’s accounts with Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send prisoners money through the postal service and have to send it to the address below and do so in accordance with the policies written below:

The funds have to be a money order made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be kept for a 15-day holding period, during which the inmate will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back money orders that do not have valid prisoner info provided the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Cash and personal checks won’t be deposited so don’t send checks or cash.
