How do you buy inmate commissary items?

To buy inmate commissary items, family or friends typically need to deposit funds into the inmate's commissary account through designated methods, such as online services, phone applications, or money orders sent directly to the facility. Each correctional facility provides specific guidelines on how to fund the account and the types of items available for purchase. After the funds are deposited, inmates can use them to buy approved items, including snacks, personal hygiene products, and stationery, during scheduled commissary sales. Always check with the specific facility for their rules and procedures.
