Incarcerated persons may purchase a variety of commissary items to be delivered to them in their housing units. The items available for purchase include, but are not limited to: food items, hygiene products, stationery, reading glasses, and personal items.
The cost of commissary items is comparable to convenience store pricing and is purchased using money from an incarcerated person's account. Money is maintained on an incarcerated person's account from cash that they had at the time of arrest and through subsequent deposits from family and friends. Money can be deposited to an incarcerated person's account through the San Diego Sheriff Commissary e-commerce website. Gift packs purchases can also be made on the site as well.
Any profits generated from Commissary sales are deposited directly into the Incarcerated Persons' Welfare Fund to be used for the benefit, education and welfare of the incarcerated persons in compliance with CA Penal Code 4025.
Important information about the San Diego County Jails and their incarcerated persons can be found on the San Diego County Sheriff's Office Public Information Plan.
