I send my brother $20 a week. Some places have a maximum they are allowed. When he was in county jail that was all they were allowed to have so I've done the same at Parchman. I don't know if they have a limit or not though.

I send my friend about $40 a month (when I can) and he says he does nicely on that ..that is enough to get his needs and a few extras . I am sure your friend will appreciate whatever you are able to send . He sent me the price list from the "store" and things looked reasonably priced where he is at so I am thinking it is probably pretty close to that in other units as well . Hope this helps some :)

My fiance also lives on $40 a month and he has everything he needs. $30 now and again should do him just fine! Good luck

I would see if he would send you a commisary list and maybe what he is thinking of buying so that you have an idea of how much he really needs. Good luck!

I Send My Man $50.00 Every 2 Weeks...i Know He Doesn't Need That Much, But He Would Make Sure I Had If The Roles Were Different..
