Hey Gstring,
Did you get your info yet? If not, tell your friend to mail you a list from the commissary. That's what I did at first. If you call the guidance, they're going to act like they're annoyed and really dont' know too much anyway. Hope it helps.

If you haven't gotten the info you are loking for you can ask your friend to send you the Marcy correctional facility package list. All the facilities have one. oh and theres this company named "Bust the Move" that deal with the prison systems and i am not sure about the price limit of shoes there but at Gowanda its $50.00 and none of the shoes in B.T.M are over $50.00 and they ship directly to the prison. They have clothes, sneakers, boots, hats, sunglasses and even music tapes. So maybe that can help you out. Theres another one as well called Jl Marcus. if you'd like i can give you the 800 # to BTM. PM me if interested ok
