The Georgia Department of Corrections allows Union Supply orders for food item packages sent to people in State Prisons, Integrated Treatment Facilities (ITFs), and Probation Detention Centers. You don't need to go through the incarcerated person to get started. Approved family and friends can place orders directly.

Note: Riverbend Private Prison in Georgia uses the Access Securepak package program instead of Union Supply until further notice.

You have a few ways to place a Union Supply order for someone in a Georgia Department of Corrections facility. The easiest is online through the Georgia inmate package ordering system. You can also submit an order by mail, phone, or fax using the contact details below.

  • ✓ Union Supply
  • ✓ 2500 Regent Blvd Dept. 421
  • ✓ P.O. Box 619059
  • ✓ Dallas, TX 75261-9059
  • ✓ Phone: 1-562-361-5719
  • ✓ Toll-free: 1-855-247-0563
  • ✓ Fax: 1-310-603-1188

Every Union Supply order comes with a $2.95 shipping and handling charge. This fee is non-refundable, so factor it into your budget.

For Georgia State Prisons and Integrated Treatment Facilities, each package is capped at $100 per offender or 15 lbs, whichever you hit first. So even if your order total is under $100, the 15 lb weight limit still applies.

Probation Detention Centers have tighter limits: $50 per offender or 7 lbs per package, whichever comes first.

For juvenile offenders, approved family and friends can order one property package per month through Union Supply. The ordering options are the same (online, mail, phone, or fax).

Multiple orders can be consolidated into one package. The spending and weight limits still apply to the combined package, though. Keep the $100 or 15 lbs cap (State Prisons and ITFs) or the $50 or 7 lbs cap (Probation Detention Centers) in mind as you build your order.

  1. Confirm Union Supply is the right program for your loved one’s facility type (State Prison, ITF, or Probation Detention Center) and that you are an approved family member or friend who can place an order.
  2. Choose how you want to order: online, by mail, by phone, or by fax.
  3. Use the correct contact details if ordering offline: mail to Union Supply at 2500 Regent Blvd Dept. 421, P.O. Box 619059, Dallas, TX 75261-9059; call 1-562-361-5719 or 1-855-247-0563; fax 1-310-603-1188.
  4. Budget for the extra fee. Every order includes a $2.95 non-refundable shipping and handling charge.
  5. Stay within the limits for the facility type. State Prisons and ITFs are capped at $100 per offender or 15 lbs per package (whichever comes first). Probation Detention Centers are capped at $50 per offender or 7 lbs per package (whichever comes first).
