Footwear Rules for Someone at Greene Correctional Facility: What You Can Send and What They Can Keep

You can order a Footwear Package for anyone incarcerated in the North Carolina Division of Adult Correction, including people at Greene Correctional Facility. Orders go through the NC Inmate Package site - it's the statewide system for sending packages into North Carolina prisons.

Reminder: Use the NC Inmate Package program for footwear orders - sending shoes outside that system is more likely to create delays or problems.

Footwear Rules for Someone at Greene Correctional Facility: What You Can Send and What They Can Keep

Everything on the NC Inmate Package shopping pages is already pre-approved for the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction package system. Pick footwear directly from what's listed there - don't try to find a "similar" item somewhere else.

  • ✓ Choose the footwear style and size from the items shown on the NC Inmate Package shopping pages (those listings are pre-approved).
  • ✓ Stick to what’s available on the shopping pages at the time you order - don’t assume a similar item will be accepted.
  • ✓ Double-check the selected size before you submit the order.

Before you order, confirm the person can actually keep what you're sending. Under NC Division of Adult Correction rules, offenders may possess only one pair of work boots at a time. The same one-pair limit applies to tennis shoes and shower shoes. This trips up a lot of families. Your order might go through just fine, but if they already own that type of shoe, they won't be able to keep the extra pair. Not sure what they have? Ask them first - it'll save you from spending money on something that gets turned away.

Note: The possession cap is one pair per type - work boots, tennis shoes, and shower shoes - so check what they already have before you send another pair.

Practical Considerations

  • ✓ Ask your loved one what size they wear now, and confirm the size you select before placing the order.
  • ✓ Order footwear through the NC Inmate Package site, and pick from the pre-approved items shown on the shopping pages.
  • ✓ Save your order confirmation details so you can reference them later if you need to follow up.
