eCommDirect: How to Buy Commissary Items Online for Someone at Rogelio Sanchez
Ordering commissary through eCommDirect for someone at Rogelio Sanchez State Jail comes down to two things: knowing the spending caps and getting approved as a sender. Here's how both work.
eCommDirect caps spending by quarter. For January–March, April–June, and July–September, the limit is $70 each. October–December bumps up to $95 - that's the holiday spending period.
You can only complete one eCommDirect purchase per inmate per day. Forgot something? You'll have to wait until tomorrow. Same goes if another family member wants to place an order - one purchase per day, per person incarcerated.
You need to be an approved sender before you can buy anything. Two ways to qualify: get added to the Approved Visitation List by the person incarcerated, or register your phone with Securus to land on the Approved Phone List. Either one works - you don't need both.
Practical Tips
- ✓ Ask your loved one which approval route you’re using (Approved Visitation List vs. Approved Phone List) so you don’t waste time trying to order before you’re eligible
- ✓ Plan your total spending by quarter: Jan–Mar $70, Apr–Jun $70, Jul–Sep $70, and Oct–Dec $95
- ✓ If multiple people want to help, coordinate who orders on which day so you don’t run into the one-purchase-per-day limit
- ✓ If you’re trying to stretch funds, consider spacing orders out instead of using the full quarter cap at once
Heads up: The one-purchase-per-day rule makes last-minute holiday orders tricky. Plan ahead. And remember - only Oct–Dec has the higher $95 limit.
