Frequently Asked Questions
How do I order a care package for an inmate?
Browse the listed package contents and choose items the recipient is eligible to receive. Enter complete recipient and facility mailing details, then review current prices, shipping, taxes, and the final amount at Shopify checkout before paying.
Which states do you ship care packages for inmates to?
Our U.S. correctional directory covers state prisons in all states except Missouri, plus Rikers Island and Nassau County Jail in New York. Other U.S. county jails, ICE detention centers and federal facilities are excluded. Food purchases are limited to eligible New York state-prison orders; Rikers and Nassau remain non-food only. Canada and nationwide residential shopping remain available separately. Directory inclusion does not establish current operation, vendor approval or guarantee acceptance.
What's included in a care package for inmates?
Contents vary by package and may include hygiene items, shelf-stable snacks, clothing, or writing supplies. Read the individual product contents and confirm the recipient's eligibility and applicable item limits before ordering.
Are your care packages for inmates guaranteed not to be rejected?
No. Facility policies and recipient eligibility determine acceptance. Contact support if a package is rejected; requests are reviewed under the current refund policy. Facility-policy rejections, restricted items, and incorrect customer information can result in non-refundable shipping charges and customer-paid reshipment.
Can I send care packages to inmates in county jails?
County and parish jail orders through Secure Care Essentials are non-food only. Other rules vary by institution and recipient, and Rikers has additional category exclusions. You can purchase without prior facility approval, but acceptance is not guaranteed. Provide the full mailing address and confirm that the recipient can receive the selected items.
How long does a care package for an inmate take to arrive?
Processing starts after payment. Shipping turnaround time is 3-4 business days. Carrier transit and facility intake times vary. You receive tracking when your order ships.
