Inmate Commissary and Money
Incarcerated persons may purchase a variety of commissary items to be delivered to them in their housing units. The items available for purchase include, but are not limited to: food items, hygiene products, stationery, reading glasses, and personal items. The cost of commissary items is comparable to convenience store pricing and is purchased using money from an incarcerated person's account. Money is maintained on an incarcerated person's account from cash that they had at the time of arrest and through subsequent deposits from family and friends. Gift pack purchases can also be made on the site.
