Every state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide a bank account for inmate funds and for buying things not issued by the correctional facility.

Family, friends, or other sources may send funds into these Commissary accounts using Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can choose to send inmates funds through postal mail and must send money to this address and do so in accordance with the rules provided below:

The money must be a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. You are advised to use a post office money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day hold period, and in this time the prisoner will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender any funds that do not have appropriate inmate info provided the envelope has a return address. Cash and checks won’t be accepted for deposit so don’t send checks or cash.
