Every state prison has a Commissary which was started to provide prisoners a bank type account for prisoner funds and for purchasing things not issued regularly by the correctional facility.

Friends, family, or other people can deposit money to these Commissary accounts by sending it by Western Union or by mail.

Via U.S. Postal Service: An inmate’s family and friends can choose to send prisoners money through the mail and will have to send those funds to this address and do so in accordance with the policies given below:

The funds must be in a money order made out to the prisoner’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 processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold period, and during this period the inmate will not get the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return any funds that don’t have correct prisoner information but only if the envelope you sent it in has a return address. Cash and checks can’t be accepted so do not send any checks or cash.
