Inmate Care Package and Commissary

by Lindsy
(Grand Rapids, MI)

Is there a website that you can do commissary orders for an inmate?


There are several sites you can use to send an inmate care package.

The word 'commissary' might cause confusion in some facilities because commissary often refers to the items an inmate would order for themselves and pay through their inmate account.

However, many prisons and jails will allow care packages from approved companies. Because of security requirements, families and friends cannot go to a local store, select items and ship them to the prison. Only packages from approved vendors are allowed.

Always check with the facility to as what their policy is regarding care packages before you place an order or it may be refused!

Here is a list of the more common vendors. Again, not all these vendors may be approved for your facility. You can get an idea by looking at their web sites how they work and what items they offer:
Does anyone know of other vendors? Would anyone care to comment on their experiences with the listed vendors?

NEW COMPANY LISTINGS
by: KRISTEN

I HAVE USED UNION SUPPLY DIRECT BEFORE AND HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SELECTION. THIS WOULD BE THE NYINMATEPACKAGE.COM. THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW THAT HAS SUPPLIES FOR ALL RACES. (AND RELIGIONS) THERE ALSO IS JLMARCUS WITH LESS SELECTION AND IT IS NOT GEARED TOWARD PRE-APPROVAL FOR EACH FACILITY LIKE UNION SUPPLY IS, ALTHOUGH I DID HAVE AN ITEM REJECTED RECENTLY.

Answer: No. Most prison/jail facilities do not allow allow anything sent in from families. Books and other items have to be shipped from an approved vendor. This is done for security reasons.
