Commissary Week at Western Tidewater Jail: When to Order, Spending Limits, and Delivery

Commissary orders at Western Tidewater Jail can be placed any day except Monday. If you're timing an order around paydays or visits, keep that no-order day in mind so you don't miss the week's window.

Deliveries happen on Wednesday each week. That said, the jail may take until Friday to get every order distributed - so don't worry if your loved one doesn't receive their items right away.

Inmates can spend up to $200 per week on commissary items. That cap applies to what they order for themselves.

Family and friends can also send up to $200 per week toward commissary - separate from the inmate's limit. If you're coordinating with others who want to help, keep that cap in mind so contributions don't exceed the weekly maximum.

If someone is released before their commissary order arrives, the order won't be held for pickup. Instead, it gets returned to Oasis and the money is credited back. One thing to know: that credit isn't processed at the same time as the balance of inmate funds given on release day.
