USP Lewisburg Commissary Rules: Purchase Limits and What Happens If You Miss Your Name
Commissary day goes a lot smoother when the paperwork is right and the limits are clear. Here's how shopping works at USP Lewisburg, a few common item caps, and what happens if an inmate isn't there when their name is called.
To shop commissary at USP Lewisburg, the inmate needs to bring a properly filled out and signed commissary list to the window, along with their ID card. Only one inmate is allowed in the commissary booth at a time, so being ready when your turn comes is key.
Reminder: No extras or substitutions are permitted at the window, and all sales are final.
Examples Purchase Limits
- ✓ Chips: limit 7 total
- ✓ Cookies: limit 6 total
- ✓ Copy cards: limit 5 total
- ✓ Photo tickets: limit 10 total
- ✓ Liquid beverages (12-packs of soda): limit 3 total
USP Lewisburg sets a commissary validation (purchase) limit of $360.00. That dollar cap works alongside individual item limits. So even if you're under $360.00, category caps on things like chips, cookies, or 12-packs of soda can still stop an order short.
If an inmate is not present when their name is called for commissary, the order gets restocked and their shopping privilege for that week is denied. No exceptions. If you're helping a loved one plan, make sure they know this rule.
At USP Lewisburg, it's the inmate's responsibility to check the commissary bulletin board for out-of-stock items, price changes, new items, ice cream flavors, and pastry. Prices can change without notice, so what was available or affordable last week may look different the next time commissary comes around.
Tip: Plan around both the $360.00 validation limit and the category caps. For example, chips are limited to 7 total and cookies are limited to 6 total, even if you still have money left to spend.
