Each prison has a Commissary which was created to provide inmates a bank type account for inmate monies and for purchasing things not issued regularly by the Bureau of Prisons.

Anyone can deposit funds to prisoner’s 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 postal mail and will have to send those funds to the following address and do so in accordance with the policies provided below:

The funds must be in the form of a money order that is made out to the inmate’s full committed name and complete eight-digit register number. It is advisable to use a U.S. Postal Service money order, since all non-postal money orders processed through the National Lockbox will be subject to a 15-day hold, and in this time the prisoner will not have access to the money. The Bureau of Prisons will return money orders that don’t have appropriate inmate information if the envelope you sent it in has an adequate return address.
