What You Need to Know About Commissary Spending Limits and the Crocs Exemption at Lawrence County Jail

At Lawrence County Jail, you can place one commissary order per week with a spending cap of $80. That cap covers the items themselves - but there's also an order fee on top, so your total cost will be higher than $80 once the fee is added.

Crocs get special treatment at Lawrence County Jail. They're exempt from the weekly spending limit, so buying a pair won't eat into your $80 cap.

What does that mean in practice? You can order Crocs without touching your $80 weekly allowance for regular items. You're still limited to one order per week, and the $80 cap (plus the order fee) applies to everything else in that order.

When commissary privileges are suspended, ordering works very differently. The only option that may still be available is an indigent pack - and only if the person qualifies for it.

Don't qualify for indigent supplies? No commissary orders while privileges are suspended. Instead, they'll need to request hygiene items directly from jail staff.

Practical Ordering Advice

• ✓ Build your cart around essentials first, since you only get one commissary order per week and regular items must fit within the $80 cap.
• ✓ Leave room for the order fee, because it’s charged in addition to the $80 weekly limit.
• ✓ Double-check your order before you submit it - commissary staff won’t make changes to existing orders once they’re placed.

1. Confirm you’re within the weekly rules before placing an order - You’re allowed one commissary order per week up to $80 (plus the order fee), so plan your items around that limit.
2. If ordering isn’t available, check whether privileges are suspended - When commissary privileges are suspended, the only order allowed is an indigent pack, and only if the person qualifies.
3. If they don’t qualify for indigent supplies, switch to staff requests for hygiene - In that case, no commissary order can be placed, and hygiene items must be requested from jail staff.
