I could tell you a LOT about commissary. What are your questions about it though?

Unfortunately, given how the US has semi-privitaized our prison system, a lot of the information I could tell you about the specifics of depositing money might be useless. Not every prison uses the same private companies for everything. When it comes to depositing money, I always use western union because it gets there fastest, and frankly, I have a digital calender that sends me a reminder once a month. So when I get the reminder on my phone I just transfer the money...also oh my phone. Welcome to the new convenient capitalist hellscapre kids. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So anyway, I could tell you more, but I'm not sure what you questions are. Do you want to know what they can spend the money on? They can spend it on far more than food. Do you want to know how to send money? That could depend on the prison, but probably western union is a good bet for any of them. Do you want to know something else?

Give me an idea of what you want to know and I'll tell you what I can.
