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

Friends, family, or other people can send funds to these Commissary accounts by sending it by the U.S. Postal Service and Western Union.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners money in the postal service and must send those funds to the address below and do so in accordance with the policies given below:

The deposit has to be in the form of a money order that is made out to the prisoner’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 kept for a 15-day hold period, during which the prisoner will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return to the sender money orders that do not have correct prisoner information but only if the envelope has a return address. Checks and cash cannot be deposited to the inmate’s account so don’t send any checks or cash.
