Commissary

The commissary was founded in 1930 by the Department of Justice. The Commissary was placed in all Federal Institutions. 

The commissary allows inmates to shop for “luxury” items while they are in prison. Funds are typically deposited by their friends, families, and their prison jobs. 

Inmates have a spending limit of $360 per month. The commissary is only open on a designated day of the week where they can utilize the shop. 

All federal prisons have their commissary list with prices available to the public. 

Legal Activities

Even when in prison, you may still need legal counsel. There are strict procedures one will have to follow to obtain legal reference materials alongside their legal counsel.

There are also many opportunities to be taken advantage of to afford the proposal of legal documents when behind bars.  

All procedures for legal activities can be located here.

Visitation

Inmates can also have visitors. The inmate will have to add you to their visitor approved list. This list will require you to undergo a background check.

This process can take a few weeks typically. Once you are on the approved list, you will be able to visit on Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays from 8pm to 2pm.

All adults visiting will need to have their government ID ready to go into the visitation area. 

How Often Can I Visit?

• LSCI – 12 points
