The jail provides full services from food to medical and recreational as well as providing positive social interactions and the ability to improve life skills before release.
It will be helpful for inmates to have money in their commissary account as well, as that permits orders for clothing, hygiene items, and recreational activities as well as phone time. This account must be funded by someone who is not incarcerated, so family members or friends are able to access it online to add money or they may go to the jail itself and use the kiosk that is located in the lobby. Once money is placed in the commissary one of the options to purchase will be time on the phone which allows inmates to make outgoing phone calls each day, though the system does not accept incoming calls.
