JailATM is a service provided to family and friends of inmates. This is a fast and convenient way to send money and purchase Commissary for the inmates. Well, here we are going to talk about JailATM Commissary packages.
JailATM Inmate Commissary
Inmates who do not have any disciplinary sanctions are allowed to receive commissary once a week. The inmates must have enough funds in their own account to buy commissary items. Inmates who want to get commissary items are needed to place the order through the kiosks in the housing areas. The inmates are limited to spending $70 for food and $30 for sanitary items. For your information, order cut off is each Wednesday at 11:45 p.m. The inmates are able to order Snack-Packs, which are delivered on Tuesday and the cut off is 11:00 a.m. the same day.
Also, friends and family members are able to go online to JailATM.com and order $35 gift packs. Orders for this item have to be placed by midnight Wednesday for Thursday or Friday delivery. Here is a direct link to JailATM://deposits.jailatm.com/WebDeposits/
If the scheduled commissary days are changed due to holidays or other circumstances, then the inmates are going to be notified of the change. Problems related to the Commissary have to be addressed to the Legacy Commissary staff by using an Inmate Request Form. Poor inmates who have not had funds for more than 30 days will be able to qualify for a care package. This package only includes personal hygiene items, writing, and mailing supplies. The inmates are able to request care packages by using an Inmate Request Form.

Everything You Need to Know About Inmate Packages
Sending packages to a prison may be tricky because there are several rules and regulations you have to be aware of. They will differ in different states and prisons. For instance, prisons are able to allow a different number of items that you can send.
Before preparing a package for a loved one in prison, you have to contact the correctional facility they are located in and also check the rules for inmate packages. Several prisons do not allow surprise packages; however, they need prisoners to submit a package request. If you do not know the exact location of your family member or friend in jail, it will slow things down. It is always best to address your package in detail to ensure it’s delivered to the correct facility.
Aside from sending a package through the United States Post Office, of course there are many inmate package vendors you are able to use. Please be sure to check if the facility your loved one is located in approves of the vendor you select.
Here are some other of the inmate package services to check out:
- JPay
- iCare
- Walkenhorst’s
- Union Supply Group
