How Lawrence County Jail's Commissary Spending Limits Work (And What Doesn't Count)

At Lawrence County Jail, commissary is capped in two ways: you can place one order per week, and that order can total up to $80. On top of the $80 maximum, there’s also an order fee, so plan your balance with that extra charge in mind.

One clear exception: Crocs are exempt from the weekly spending limit. That means a Crocs purchase doesn’t count toward the $80 cap for the week.

If the person you’re trying to help is listed by jail staff as a diabetic customer, the commissary system will restrict certain food items during the order process. In practical terms, you may find that some snacks or food options can’t be added to the cart, even if there’s money available and you’re under the weekly limit. If you’re trying to plan a reliable order, build it around items that aren’t likely to be blocked, and be ready to adjust if a food item is restricted for medical reasons.

Ordering Strategy

• ✓ Plan for one commissary order per week - combine what’s needed into a single order instead of expecting to “fix it later” with a second one.
• ✓ Keep the weekly cap in mind: up to $80 per order (plus the order fee), so prioritize the most useful items first.
• ✓ If Crocs are on the list, remember they don’t count against the weekly spending limit, so they won’t eat into the $80 cap.
