How to Send a Food Package to Someone at Riverbend (Riverbend uses Access Securepak)
Riverbend is an exception to Georgia's standard food package program. While most Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) facilities use Union Supply for food packages, Riverbend Private Prison uses Access Securepak — and that's not changing anytime soon. This matters because the ordering instructions you'll find for Union Supply (including contact info) apply to State Prisons, Integrated Treatment Facilities (ITFs), and Probation Detention Centers in that program. They don't apply to Riverbend.

Riverbend Corrections Facility: Why packages use Access Securepak (and what that means for families)

That's different from most Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) facilities, so don't assume the standard GDC ordering process applies here.

Riverbend Corrections Facility uses Access Securepak for packages—not the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) Union Supply program—until further notice. The statewide GDC guidance describes Union Supply as the approved vendor for inmate food packages, with mail orders sent to a Dallas, Texas address and phone or fax ordering available. The GDC program has strict rules: orders must arrive by the deadline, a $2.95 non-refundable shipping and handling fee applies, and spending and weight caps limit packages. State prisons and ITFs allow $100 or 15 lbs; probation detention centers allow $50 or 7 lbs. Multiple orders may be consolidated into one package within those limits. For personal mail, include the incarcerated person's full name and GDC/inmate number. Expect all mail to be screened through a central processing service.
