The Commissary (also known as the Canteen) is operated as a service once a week to inmates. You may purchase assorted items that are offered on the order sheet. The Commissary schedule is posted on the pod bulletin board unless otherwise determined. • An order sheet is provided prior to the Commissary delivery day. When filling out your commissary sheet, make sure your name, signature and inmate number are written legibly on it. • There is a limit on each order (see pod bulletin board for current allowance). The Commissary is a privilege and not a right. Commissary privileges can be revoked for the violation of any institutional rule(s) or the misuse of commissary privileges. Inmates shall not purchase excessive amounts of authorized items. Any item that exceeds the authorized amount will be confiscated. (An excessive amount is anything that cannot be stored in your storage bin.) When commissary is delivered to the scheduled pod, the receiving inmate must bring his/her laundry bag, tote or tote lid to the commissary staff. After verification of the inmate, commissary staff will begin filling the order. In the event the inmate is not present to receive his/her ordered commissary, arrangements will be made for delivery when convenient. If you are released or transferred before your commissary order is delivered, you or a family member have forty-eight (48) hours to retrieve the items from the Commissary personnel or they will be disposed of. (Please be advised that the jail’s Property Room has no involvement with retrieval of these orders.) There will be no refunds. You are responsible for packing all commissary and personal items in your tote prior to going to court. Failure to secure items in tote before bringing them out to the housing storage is at your risk. The jail is not responsible for any lost or stolen items for your failure to follow proper procedure. NOTE: You are responsible for verifying your order upon delivery. You are required to sign the order form stating that your order is complete. All sales are FINAL. There will be no returns, exchanges, or refunds after the order is delivered.
