INMATE COMMISSARY

Commissary services are provided to the inmate, which allows them to purchase items not provided by the Southern Ute Detention Center. On every Tuesday of each week, commissary slips will be handed out to those who wish to purchase commissary. This list will be picked up the same night at the end of the shift and the orders will be placed into the Swanson’s computer that night.  

Commissary items will be delivered every Thursday. You will be responsible for checking your receipt and verifying all items ordered. If you have any discrepancies, it will be your responsibility to inform the issuing staff member so that your order can be corrected and credited. Each inmate will be allowed to spend no more than $35.00 dollars per week when purchasing commissary items. This is not negotiable.

If special products are needed, than it is recommended they are ordered before snacks or other items are ordered - - - Think ahead. 

Indigent Inmates: Those who are unable to purchase items due to lack of funds and/ or have no means to obtain any funds while in the Southern Ute Detention Center.

Indigent inmates will receive the following items during the time of booking or the 5th day of every month if needed:

  • 4 envelopes

  • 6 pieces of writing paper

 

Note: White T-shirts and long john pants are not provided to the inmates. These items will be commissary items only.
