Each prison has a Commissary that was created to provide an account for inmate money and for buying items not provided by the facility.

How to Send an Inmate Money

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

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends are able to send prisoners funds by way of postal mail and have to send money to the address below and follow the policies given below:

The funds have to be a money order made out to the prisoner’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to 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 holding period, during which the prisoner will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that do not have valid prisoner info provided the envelope it was sent it has a return address. Cash and personal checks won’t be accepted for deposit so do not send any checks or cash.
