Clothing Packages for Inmates
Choose clothing by its listed contents, size, and the recipient's facility rules. Colors, materials, garment quantities, and eligibility can differ between state prisons, county jails, and NYC DOC facilities.
What to compare in a prison clothing package
Read the individual listing for the number of T-shirts, pairs of underwear, socks, or other garments included. Confirm actual sizes and any available color or fabric choices. Do not substitute a package's name for its contents: two similarly named kits can contain different items, and a bundle may include something the recipient cannot receive.
Clothing rules vary by institution
Check garment colors, material, logos, fasteners, pockets, and quantity limits with the receiving institution. Restrictions can depend on housing assignment, recipient status, season, or the permitted delivery channel. A product being available online does not establish acceptance at a prison or county jail. Footwear should be checked separately rather than treated as ordinary clothing.
Rikers clothing is not a general New York clothing policy
Rikers Island operates under NYC DOC rather than state DOCCS. Our Rikers rules prohibit all footwear and preserve the facility's clothing quantities, color, material, and eligibility restrictions. Certain additional clothing access for sentenced people is limited to qualifying court or significant family events. Read the dedicated Rikers guide; a kit containing more garments does not change the applicable limits.
Prepare an eligible clothing delivery
Use complete recipient and inmate mailing details, review the selected size and contents, and confirm current charges at Shopify checkout. Normal shipping turnaround is 3-4 business days after payment. Carrier transit and facility intake vary. Contact support with questions rather than assuming a previous delivery or another institution's approval applies to this order.

Frequently Asked Questions — Clothing Packages
Are white clothing items accepted at every prison or jail?
No. Color, fabric, construction, quantity, and recipient restrictions vary. Check the actual receiving institution's rules instead of relying on a general clothing label.
Does a clothing kit's quantity change facility limits?
No. Read both the kit contents and the facility's current limits. A listing does not override institutional quantity or eligibility requirements.
Can I include shoes in a Rikers clothing order?
No. All footwear is prohibited under our Rikers rules. Review the dedicated Rikers clothing guide before selecting products.
What information is needed for a clothing-package delivery?
Provide the recipient's full name, required identification number, complete inmate mailing address, and the chosen clothing size. Review listed contents and destination restrictions before checkout.
