Every prison has a Commissary that was started to provide inmates a bank type account for inmate money and for buying things not provided by the facility.

Anyone can send funds to these accounts with Western Union and the U.S. Postal Service.

Via U.S. Postal Service: Inmates’ families and friends can to send prisoners money through the mail and will have to send money to the address below and follow the directions listed below:

The funds must 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. It is best if you 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, and in this time the inmate will not have access to the deposit. The Bureau of Prisons will send back any funds that do not have valid prisoner information but only if the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address. Checks and cash cannot be accepted so do not send any checks or cash.
