Commissary buys soap, deodorant, stamps, and phone minutes. Men without family on the outside go without all of it for years.
Twenty-five dollars a month is a coffee habit. It’s also how a man calls his mother.
Fund Commissary for the Forgotten
Chaplains know exactly who never gets money on their books. Send $25 a month through the chaplain and let them decide who gets it.
What you'll need
- A unit chaplain's name and the facility's rules on outside funds
- A recurring $25 payment, set up once
Pitfalls
- Go through the chaplain. Sending money straight to one person creates problems inside you can't see.
- Ask what they actually need. Soap, stamps, and a phone card usually beat snacks.
- Set it recurring. A one-time gift lands once and then it's over.
Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated. — Hebrews 13:3
