Sending money and commissary at Siskiyou County Jail: why care packages are refused and how to send commissary

Siskiyou County Jail doesn't accept outside care packages - bring one in, and it'll be turned away. That means wasted time and money for you. If you want to get your loved one snacks, hygiene items, or basics like envelopes and stamps, use the jail's commissary process instead.

Commissary runs once a week at Siskiyou County Jail. Keep this schedule in mind - it determines how quickly someone can actually get what they order.

There's a cutoff: orders must be placed by Sunday night. If you want funds or an order ready for that week's run, plan around this deadline.

The Siskiyou County Jail information page directs families to SecurePak for sending commissary support. Been turned away trying to drop off items in person? This is the channel the jail wants you to use.

1. Skip in-person care packages - Don’t bring “care packages” to the jail; they will be refused.
2. Use the jail’s approved options - Instead of dropping items off, mail the inmate suitable money for commissary use, or follow the facility’s direction to use the SecurePak link to send commissary.
3. Time it for the weekly deadline - Commissary orders must be placed by Sunday night, so try to have your plan (money or order) in place before then.
