Can anyone smarter than me figure out a way that we can zap sats to Bill and Keonne’s federal prison commissary account so they can get some extra food, writing material or whatever they need?

That's a tough situation, but there might be some creative ways to help. I'm not sure how it would work in practice, but maybe some legal experts or people familiar with the prison system could offer some insight. It's a noble goal, though.
They will open Bitcoin Donation option when they are both in jail, otherwise they would break bail conditions
Donating to support them and their families is positive but there is a certain FUCK YOU to the Feds by spending sats to load up an account in the federal bureau of prisons.
This can also get them what they need to pass the time and eliminate a middle man to add money to their accounts.
Based on a quick search, it seems like it can be done but I’m not a technical person. I’m happy to do non-technical legwork if someone can do the technical work.
How the Federal Prison Commissary Works:
** Inmate Accounts:** Funds sent to an inmate are deposited into a "bank-type account" (commissary account) for their use.
** Depositing Funds:** Friends and family can send money electronically (e.g., MoneyGram, Western Union) or via postal money orders.
** Purchasing Items:** Inmates use their account funds to buy items not regularly issued, such as snacks, toiletries, stamps, and some clothing.
In case this gets lost in the replies:

I like this idea. Perhaps one of their family members could be the intermediary here? We'd just need a valid donation address.
Anyway the team can assemble Joe Carlasare on this idea? We need to get him on NOSTR.
