How to Order Commissary Items for Someone at Napa Corrections Using MyCarePack (and the $80 Weekly Limit)
Want to send commissary to someone at Napa County Department of Corrections? MyCarePack is how friends and family place orders. Here's how it works and how to plan around the $80 per week limit.
At Napa County Department of Corrections (NCDC), commissary lets people buy a few extras that make daily life more comfortable, as long as they have funds available. The selection includes snacks, drink mixes, candy, dry soups, and hygiene items. The big rule to know: incarcerated persons at NCDC can purchase up to $80 worth of commissary items each week. That means it helps to think in terms of weekly priorities rather than trying to buy everything at once.
Good to know: NCDC provides basic hygiene items (such as soap, a toothbrush, and toothpaste) at no cost, so you can focus your commissary budget on anything beyond the basics.
Friends and family can purchase commissary items for an incarcerated person through MyCarePack. The same shopping limits apply, including the $80 weekly cap. To place an order, log on to MyCarePack, set up an account, and follow the prompts to complete your purchase. Once your account is set up, it's straightforward: select what you want to send and confirm the order details.
If you need to add money to an incarcerated person's account, NCDC lists three options: depositing funds at the kiosk in the jail lobby, depositing online at MyCarePack (Smartinmate), or depositing by phone at (888) 277-2535. Getting funds loaded ahead of time saves you from scrambling when you're ready to place a commissary order.
- Log on to MyCarePack - Start the commissary order process from your MyCarePack login.
- Set up your account - If you’re new to the system, create your MyCarePack account first.
- Follow the prompts to place your order - Add the items you want to send, then continue through checkout until your order is submitted.
- ✓ Keep the $80 per week limit in mind while you shop.
- ✓ Remember that the same shopping limits apply even when friends and family place the order through MyCarePack.
The simplest way to work within the $80 weekly limit is to prioritize what helps most right now, then spread the rest across future weeks. Trying to stock up all at once will hit the cap fast. Remember that NCDC provides basic hygiene items like soap, a toothbrush, and toothpaste at no cost. That takes some pressure off your weekly spending, especially when you're balancing hygiene needs with comfort items.
Tip: If you’re trying to time an order, you can add funds through the jail lobby kiosk, online (MyCarePack/Smartinmate), or by phone at (888) 277-2535.
