A commissary deposit is money you send to an inmate so they can buy personal items and access certain services while they are in jail or prison.
💡 What Can Commissary Funds Be Used For?
Depending on the facility, commissary funds can be used to purchase:
🍜 Food and snacks
🧼 Hygiene products (like soap, toothpaste, deodorant)
💬 Messaging services to stay in touch with loved ones
📞 Phone time cards
💳 Paying off any fees or debts the inmate owes (like medical co-pays or disciplinary fines)
⚠️ Please note: Each facility may offer different items or services through commissary. What’s available can vary depending on location.
🧾 Why It’s Important:
Commissary helps inmates take care of basic needs and maintain communication with family and friends — it’s one of the few ways they can access some comfort and stay connected.
