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?
