The email program is funded by the inmate trust fund, which is kept up with purchases from the commissary, the telephone service, and fees paid directly to Trulincs.

Emails are monitored and screened for content not suitable for them.

Admissions and Orientation Handbook

Your first day in prison, you are bombarded with a ton of information. One booklet you will be giving is the Admissions and Orientation (A&O) Handbook. 

This handbook will supply you with general information about the prison itself alongside the prison’s rules, programs, and regulations you will have to follow while you are serving out your sentence. 

It will be in your best interest to familiarize yourself with handbook as it is your responsibility to transition smoothly to prison life. 

The handbook is in English and in Spanish. 

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

Fortunately, for the FCC Oakdale, all of their facilities have the same visiting hours. You may visit an inmate if you are on their approved list. You can put yourself on the list by going to the Federal Bureau of Prisons official website. Everyone in your party will need to be on the list. You will also need to bring a proper photo identification card; typically, a driver’s license or a state identification card. 

Keep in mind that you cannot be under the influence of any alcohol or drugs. You must adhere to a dress code. There will be no mini-skirts, see-through clothing, tank tops, or any other offensive clothing allowed. All visits are monitored to ensure the safety of the inmates, staff, and visitors.
