Why do inmates in the Camden County Correctional Facility need commissary?
Inmates in the Camden County Correctional Facility do not necessarily need commissary, as the jail provides the with the minimum food and hygiene products they need to subsist.

Learn more about ordering Access Securepak packages online for an inmate in the Camden County Correctional Facility. If you want to order by phone call 800-546-6283. Are commissary items used for gambling in the Camden County Correctional Facility?
Yes. Because inmates do not have access to actual cash money in the Camden County Correctional Facility, snacks, candy, brand name hygiene products and other sundries inmates can get from commissary and care packages you ship to them are used as currency, thus for gambling. In addition to gambling, commissary items can be used to purchase services such as haircuts, tattoos and cell cleaning. Unfortunately, in many cases, commissary items are also used to purchase protection from other inmates who wish them harm. If your inmate is needing more than $10 a day for commissary, they are getting pretty fat or are using the items they purchase for gambling purposes or personal protection. Learn more about inmate commissary in the Camden County Correctional Facility. How much money should you send an inmate in Camden County Correctional Facility for commissary?
A reasonable amount of commissary money you should send your inmate is whatever your budget allows. While jail is stressful for an inmate, it is just as stressful for their family members or loved ones on the outside. You are the one that still has bills to pay; rent, utilities, food, phone, children's needs, gas, car payments and all the other stresses of life. As hard as the pressure you are getting to send money, your needs and the children's come first. Camden County Correctional Facility limits the inmates to receiving no more than $300-400 per month in commissary money and/or care packages, not including phone expenses, but realistically an inmate can get by on less than $100 per month of products and be comfortable.
