Inmates are able to purchase various items through the Commissary provided they have funds available on their account. They can purchase items one time per week. Orders are typically submitted on Tuesday morning and purchased items are distributed on Wednesday of each week, unless otherwise noted. Items purchased through the Commissary will be sent with the Inmate upon their release.
In addition to inmates being able to purchase commissary weekly, they also have access to inmate vending machines daily during their recreation period. During this time they can use their available funds to purchase snack items.
