Every state prison has a Commissary which was created to provide an account for inmate funds and for buying items not issued by the Bureau of Prisons.

Anyone may deposit funds to inmate’s Commissary accounts using the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send prisoners funds by way of the postal service and have to send money to this address and do so in accordance with the policies listed below:

The deposit has to be in the form of a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You should use a postal money order, since all non-postal money orders that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold, and during this period the prisoner will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will send back funds that do not have correct prisoner info if the envelope has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash will not be accepted for deposit so do not send any cash or checks.
