REQUESTED- Some Jails do it once a week, twice a week, twice a month, etc. They're all different.

The worst is when you get money put on your books in one jail then transport finally gets you for the hold out of their county but it takes a min for the funds to transfer

That’s awful! Twice a month?! I go to the store at least 3 times a week because I always forget something. And that’s not just groceries. Sometimes I forget shampoo and other toiletry items! Gosh. The things we take for granted in the “outside.”

[TiffBishop-wwbr]

They told me my son wouldn't be in long enough to get commissary. Turns out he was and by the time they let me add it he had been there a month without. He got out the next week and never got to use the money and we never got it back ...go figure

In the interview "Bulgaria's toughest prison" they showed a guy in a cell who had his own TV inside, whole cell to himself, complete with a dinner table, fridge, a flag of Cuba and a portrait of Che. The guy wouldn't stop complaining about his small cell and about capitalism, ragging on the unfair system and calling the police criminals. He was a drug dealer.

This is Bulgaria, one of the poorest nations in Europe.

My "dorm" in Riker's was always on what was called a "burn", which meant that when we were allowed to visit commissary, each inmate was only allowed to purchase $30 worth of stuff. No exceptions. We went twice a month. The person working in commissary was always informed before we got there so there was no hope of getting more than $30 worth. It caused huge problems and created arguments, as inmates would choose items they wanted and at checkout, when monetary limit had been reached, they would want to switch things out and so forth to stay within the $30. It made everything take longer. The girls who ran shit in the pod always got the front of the line and everyone else, like me, wound up at the end. I usually wanted the sealed, ready to eat packets of chicken, ramen, coffee, sugar packets, the Arizona iced tea mix packets, whatever cookies appealed to me, Irish Spring soap and conditioner. I showered a lot in there & used conditioner as a leave in treatment. I also used my soap to wash my clothes. If you've never been in jail or prison you probably don't know that the facility only launders your uniform. T shirts, leggings. pajamas, bathrobes, bras, socks or panties you came in wearing or had sent to you via packages were NEVER WASHED BY THE JAIL OR PRISON - YOU HAD TO WASH THESE ITEMS YOURSELF BY HAND, WITH WHATEVER SOAP YOU HAD, IN A PLASTIC BIN MEANT TO HOLD YOUR BELONGINGS KEPT UNDER YOUR "BUNK*". Then you had to hang it dry someplace you could easily watch in the hopes no one would steal it. Yes, women would steal your washed but used panties, socks, etc if you were not vigilant or were disliked, or owned clothing items that were simply too appealing to others.
At the time I was in there, there were approved colors for the clothing items sent to you. Print was generally not allowed. Only colors allowed were white, gray, pink and navy I think. Now I don't think pink is allowed anymore. Nothing with clear brand names, like PINK from Victoria's Secret, or NIKE on the side of a pair of leggings.
* I say "bunk" but we weren't given beds of any kind. In a large, gymnasium type room, there were low (about two feet off the floor) rectangular metal shelves bolted to the floor that were a little over a foot wide and five and a half feet long. That was what you were meant to sleep on. We were given a single yoga mat as a mattress. No pillows. You received one single flat sheet and one itchy, horrible blanket that wasn't long enough. Sometimes ppl would be released and another inmate would grab the yoga mat left behind on the bunk. If it was discovered that you had more than one, it was taken from you. This was discovered when, every once in a while, the guards would force us all to stand in the adjoining room where we ate and watch as they turned entire lines of bunks over, flipping our shit onto the floor and dumping our possessions out of our plastic bins onto the floor. This was done if they had the idea that someone was hiding drugs, cigarettes (which you are not permitted to have in jail - prison can be different), or whatever other "contraband" they thought someone had. Something the jail gave you could also be considered contraband if you held onto it past the time you were expected to use it. For example, if you saved your pint of milk from breakfast bc you wanted to put it in your coffee later. If they turned your shit inside out at 12:30 and you had the milk, it was now contraband and was swept into a giant pile with other shit and taken from you.

not knowing they dont always provide hygiene was a big shock to me

[allahbole]

I'm guessing it's provided by an exclusive government contractor who TOTALLY didn't bribe anyone to overcharge a captive and desperate market?

[LissetteStdenis]

Commissary day is one of the few things you can look forward too lol, but I hated bugging family bout cash, but my dad hooked me up, can’t lie. But in our jail some times the guards would forget to grab the commissary list on Sundays so you had to make sure you got it in before Sunday, some inmates would be assed out

[makennaa.blakleyy]

I’m so early! Love these videos it teaches me to learn from mistakes and try to not stay out of trouble since I’m young! ❤

[LissetteStdenis]

One good thing about our jail is commissary was weekly

[vamp._bratz]

[jamiekalgren]

Luv your video's.

[prunellalefay]

Even the phone calls are insanely expensive. Ended up 3 waying calls so my friend could get calls from her son.So glad he's out & leading a very positive & productive life.💙😸✌

[ChristopherMichael-dwwt]

The last county jail I was at had commissary delivered twice every week (Wednesday and Saturday).

[AshleyRigby]

Couple times in prison my dorms spend was 3 weeks apart and we had lockdown so it was almost 6 weeks between spends. It sucked

[StevieArmando]

It’s just to hold power over someone by limiting what they can and can’t do. It sucks.

[jesserenee]

🤣 I'm still obsessed with Nutty Buddy's

[hannahcompton]

They can get away with it because snacks are necessary. Snacks are for pleasure and it’s jail. Shitty tho.
