Many states have an on-line company that will send money to an inmates account; usually connected to the commissary.
Sending Money to Kentucky Inmates

The inmate has access to their funds to purchase various items from the commissary such as stationary, stamps, envelopes, foods, hygiene items, clothing and more.
