Every state correctional institution has a Commissary which was started to provide inmates a bank-like account for inmate money and for purchasing things not issued to inmates by the Bureau of Prisons.

Friends, family, or other people may send money to inmate’s Commissary accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

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

The funds must be in a money order 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 that are processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15-day hold period, and during this hold period the inmate will not have access to the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will send back any funds that do not have valid prisoner information if the envelope it was sent it has a valid return address. Checks and cash won’t be deposited so don’t send cash or checks.
