USP Florence Commissary Rules: What Happens If You're Not There When Called and Other Key Limits
Commissary rules at USP Florence are strict. One small mistake can cost someone their entire week's shopping opportunity. Here's what families and incarcerated loved ones need to know.
At USP Florence, commissary isn't something you can catch later. If an inmate isn't present when their number is called, they lose their turn for the entire week. Missing the call doesn't just delay the purchase - it cancels that week's opportunity completely. Being ready when commissary runs matters.
Remember: At USP Florence, all commissary sales are final once the inmate leaves the sales station.
USP Florence enforces "absolutely no add-ons or substitutions." Whatever is on the order is what gets rung up. No swapping items, no adding something at the last second, no fixing a missed choice at the point of sale. Plan the order carefully beforehand and treat it like a one-shot purchase.
Inmates on commissary restriction at USP Florence have a spending cap of $15.00 of merchandise per month. OTC medications and stamps don't count toward that $15 limit - they're excluded from the restricted merchandise total.
Specific Limits
- ✓ Copy cards: limit 5
- ✓ Photo tickets: limit 10
- ✓ Stamps: combined limit of $9.80 total
Items marked with "(H)" on the USP Florence commissary list are OTC medications. These are generally limited to one of each, unless the list says otherwise. If your loved one can't buy multiples of the same OTC item in a single run, that "one each" limit is usually why.
One more thing: the commissary list document is marked "Updated October, 2017." Before relying on any specific price, limit, or product availability, verify what's currently posted at the institution.
