How to Order a Seasonal Package for Someone at Pamlico Correctional

Seasonal and footwear packages for North Carolina prisons, including Pamlico Correctional, go through Union Supply Direct. Their shopping pages only show items pre-approved for North Carolina Department of Adult Correction seasonal packages. No guessing whether something is allowed - if it's listed, it's meant to be approved for this program.

Seasonal packages are only available during specific ordering windows. One example window for the spring package runs from Wednesday, January 7th (first day to order) through Friday, February 6th (last day to order). Dates can change from season to season, so always double-check the current ordering window before you submit your order.

A control status change can stop a package from shipping. If the incarcerated person gets placed on HCON, MCON, ICON, or Safekeeper status before the package ships, Union Supply Direct cancels the order and refunds the purchaser - minus a $5.00 restocking fee. Worth knowing if you're ordering close to the deadline.

Sect 4 Footwear and Compatibility

  • ✓ Only one pair of work boots may be possessed at a time.
  • ✓ Only one pair of tennis shoes may be possessed at a time.
  • ✓ Only one pair of shower shoes may be possessed at a time.

Even when an item is part of the approved property program, you're still responsible for confirming it fits Pamlico's specific conditions and restrictions. This matters most for electronics and rechargeable items - some prisons don't have the infrastructure to support rechargeable devices. Check compatibility before you buy.

  1. Confirm they’re eligible to receive packages - If they’ve recently been moved or had a status change, it can affect whether an order can be delivered.
  2. Order early in the window - Ordering earlier gives more breathing room if something needs to be corrected before the deadline.
  3. Save your confirmation details - Keep your order confirmation (and any tracking or follow-up information you receive) so you can reference it if you need to check on the order later.
