How Cache County Jail's Commissary Works: Ordering Schedule, Delivery, and Indigent Packs

Commissary at Cache County Jail runs on a weekly cycle. Orders go in on Sunday, and deliveries arrive Thursday. If your loved one needs basics like soap or toothpaste, that Sunday-to-Thursday window is what to plan around.

Commissary is where inmates buy everyday supplies - hygiene items like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and deodorant, plus writing materials, stamps, envelopes, and snacks. One thing that catches families off guard: you can't bring personal hygiene items into the jail from outside. Everything has to come through commissary.

No money on the inmate account? They can request an indigent pack. These cover the basics - essential hygiene items to get through until the next commissary cycle. If your loved one is out of funds and running low, asking about an indigent pack is the fastest option.

Commissary orders may have limits based on an inmate's classification level. For specifics on what your loved one can order, contact the jail directly - they can tell you exactly what their classification allows.

Practical Tips

• ✓ Plan around Sunday ordering - that’s usually when commissary orders are placed.
• ✓ Expect deliveries on Thursday in most weeks, so needs that come up midweek may have to wait.
• ✓ If something feels time-sensitive, ask your loved one when their last order went in so you can gauge whether they’re closer to Sunday ordering or Thursday delivery.

1. Check whether they have funds - if there’s no money on the inmate account, they may be able to order an indigent pack with basic hygiene items.
2. Use the next commissary cycle if they do have funds - commissary is usually ordered on Sunday, with delivery usually on Thursday.
3. Ask the jail about urgent needs - if your loved one is out of hygiene items before the next delivery, contact the jail to ask what options are available.
