The commissary at Pierce County Jail sells everyday basics and comfort items. With enough money on their account, your loved one can order candy, snacks, cosmetics, beverages, writing materials, clothing, and other miscellaneous items.

Here's something that catches families off guard: not everyone can order the same amount. An inmate's classification level determines how many commissary items they're allowed to purchase.

Note: All monies for commissary must be received by Sunday evening at 9 p.m. for all inmates.
