Q: How do I know that items are acceptable at the facility?
A: We have taken the guesswork out of shopping for you. The only items presented on the shopping pages are already approved by the Florida Department of Corrections so you can shop with the assurance that everything we make available has been pre-approved. However, orders cannot exceed the property limitations established in 33-602-.201, F.A.C titled Inmate Property. Please click here to review the limitations.
Q: When I try to order an item, the computer prompt says I can only order ‘0’ of this product. Why is this?
A: Your loved one might be a participant of the Religious Dietary Program and therefore only allowed to purchase kosher food items. Please refer to our kosher food category for approved food items for purchase.

A: All other orders will be charged $7.95.
Q: What if I do not know the name of the correctional facility?
A: It is very important that you choose the correct facility in which your inmate resides or your package will get refused. If you are not sure of the facility name, we have included a helpful link to the Florida Department of Corrections website. You can enter the DOC number or last name to help you confirm the correct facility. http://www.dc.state.fl.us/activeinmates/search.asp
