Each state prison has a Commissary that was started to provide a bank type account for inmate funds and for purchasing things not issued regularly by the prison.

Anyone can send money to these Commissary accounts by sending it by Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

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

The money must be a money order made out to the inmate’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 that are processed through the National Lockbox will be held for a 15-day holding period, and during this period the inmate will not get the funds. The Bureau of Prisons will return any funds that don’t have correct prisoner information but only if the envelope it was sent it has an adequate return address. Checks and cash cannot be deposited to the prisoner’s account so don’t send cash or checks.
