Why is commissary so important?
-
Not all families have the luxury of having extra funds to put on a loved ones books. Often the cost of commissary and communication with loved ones, literally becomes another bill, especially in low income and working class homes.
-
Commissary keeps people safe on the outside and on the inside. Families should not have to pick between making sure their loved one can survive and the light bill, or pampers, or food, or car note, or even considering taking on another job.
-
Everything has a cost in jail. Being incarcerated, shouldn't equate to not being able to survive, at the core of it; as a human being.
