Eligible inmates may receive up to four packages per year at times designated by the Department. Two packages per year will include food, hygiene and clothing items, and the other two packages two times per year will consist of food and hygiene items only. When an inmate is scheduled to receive a package, the contains different types of items such as food, clothing and hygiene products, these items are to be “bagged” separately but packaged and shipped together at the same time. All packages will have a dollar limit of $250.00 plus shipping & handling which applies to food/snacks only. The hygiene and clothing items that have quantity limits are NOT included when calculating the $250 spending limit. Standard quantity limits on clothing, towels and wash clothes are based on quantity limits which are already established by SCDC policies and guidelines. The limit on the purchase of any single food item is a maximum of 12 each (excluding Ramen Noodles which is currently limited to four 24 packs).
