CorrectPay Commissary Ordering allows families to send pre-approved snack gift packs, supplemental meat and seafood items, hygiene essentials, footwear, and thermal clothing directly to an incarcerated loved one. Each package is tailored to match institutional security rules, ensuring items are delivered safely to housing pods.
Important: Package Cutoff Deadlines and Restrictions Vary
Detention centers enforce specific schedules for care package delivery. Some facilities allow orders to be placed weekly, while others restrict deliveries to bi-weekly or monthly windows, and spending caps vary widely by facility. You should verify your loved one's housing eligibility and active order cutoff dates with the facility. If an order is submitted after the weekly processing deadline, it will be delayed until the subsequent cycle, leaving your loved one waiting for fresh supplies.
