In 1930, the Department of Justice created Commissarys to Federal institutions. The Commissary was developed to help form a savings account for the money that prisoners receive not payed-out from the Federal State Penitentiary. For the first time, these accounts provided the Bureau of Prisons to keep responsibility for monies prisoners obtain while incarcerated. Funding sources are typically from family and friends, however, other sources are allowed to supply as well.
