We finally got the current commissary list! Unbelievable! For a while there I thought I was going to have to get top security clearance to find out how much inmates have to pay for a bag of chips. Our thanks to Commissioners’ Court who ended up being the only ones to help us. It is my understanding that Chief Dovalina was also going to respond to our requests, if so, our thanks to him also.
The following lists came from the Commissary list that is handed to the inmates. We’ve broken it down into different sections to make it easier to read. Inmates are limited to spending $100 a week. Some things like soap and shampoo are provided to the inmates but they are allowed to buy better quality items if they want. Aramark is the company that handles the commissary. At any time they can choose to change items on the list so we cannot guarantee these items will be available at all times. The lists are to give families and friends an idea of what their loved one can get and how much money they will need to purchase the items.
Commissary is a privilege that can be taken away.

Yes I’m letting you know that my husband received his commissary but got 10 honey buns oppose to getting 10 Ramon noodles, he’s diabetic and cannot eat all that sweet stuff . I ask you if you would please get his order correct. Thank you
Cynthia – This is a private site. It was set up to help people get information. The site is about the Bexar County Jail, it is not part of the jail. Contacting the commissary department is your best option. Good luck.
I’m looking for the website that we can send a full package. If anyone knows it, I had it but i can’t seem to find it again.
…potential class action lawsuit…
Theresa – I’m not sure what kind of package you mean. If you are talking about the food packages, personal hygiene packages or writing supplies packages then you want the iCare program. You can find the link and information in the Special Programs category in the Food Gift Packages – iCare post. Just follow the instructions.
Found the website, thanks. But I sented the pkg over a week ago and he still hasn’t rec’ it. Is it cuz he was in detoxs? He just got moved to a cell this passed Wed. the 28th. Does any one knows if they will still sent it out or will I have to pick it up at commissary? And does any one has that number.
Theresa – You can try the iCare customer service number, 1-877-615-3296. They are open Monday – Friday from 9:00 to 5:00.
I would like to know how much money things cost. Such as shoes, food etc. Can not get any response from that department. I have called and left messages never received a call back. If any one knows please text me with information. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Patti – This is a private site. We are not part of the Bexar County Jail. The links below the ‘About the Commissary Lists’ link have actual items on the commissary list and their prices. Items are periodically switched out so the lists will not be exact anymore but should be fairly representative. If you are talking about the food baskets, those will be on the iCare site. You can find it under the Special Programs category. As far as shoes the jail provides soft rubber sandals. I think they do have an orthopedic shoe that can be purchased but I’m not sure about that. If so, it would be bought through commissary.
Russ – We thank you for your interest in our site. Unfortunately your post was determined to be an advertisement rather than a question or a comment. If you are still interested in publishing it please make arrangements through our advertising section. Again, our thanks for visiting our site.
If we send someone money , how does the inmate find out they have money in their commissary account. I have written the individual that they have money, but he hasn’t responded which is not like him. It’s been two weeks so I know he got the letter by now, it hasn’t been returned. Even if I weren’t to write him do the guards tell them they have received money into their trust fund for the commissary?
Eli – A copy of the receipt is sent to the inmate. He will receive it no later than by the next day
Is there any way that inmates can order other meals like pizza or burgers?
Anna – It doesn’t appear that iCare has those meals in at this time. They are only showing the munchies type baskets. We don’t know when they will have the specialty foods again.
My husband order two pizzas and they charged him for it but haven’t gave them to him does anyone know a number I can call???
Just wanted to say thank you for putting up this website! I used to be in and out of jail/prison until I found out I was having my beautiful baby girl who has saved my life! So now that my daughters daddy has started serving a 2 yr sentence and was just taken into custody at BCJD I’m realizing that everything I knew has gone out the window. I have gone on the jail’s website but this site has been a big help as well. Many times people forget that when a person commits a crime it affects alot of people. (So think before you decide to break the law) Sites like this make it easier for families of inmates who choose to help out their loved ones.
Marilou – Who did he order them through? Was it an iCare package? I don’t see pizza on those packages. We have not updated the food listings since it was so hard to get them the first time around. If they now offer pizza and he bought some but never got them he will have to file a complaint through the regular complaint system.
Eve – We sincerely thank you for those kind words and wish the best for you and your baby girl.
my son’s name is m*** a m***** sid# ****** and he ordered 87.00 worth of commissary on november 6th and he never recievec this he file a grievance and we want to see copy of so said signature please respond soon do not have extra money just to support someone elses stomach i work hard for this money thank you.
How do we get a tshirt to an inmate. All he wants is a white TSHIRT….can you help?
Carol – Did he receive a response to his grievance? What did it say? Without knowing the response it’s kind of hard to give advice.
Tracy – You are not allowed to bring him clothes to wear at the jail. It’s a shame that their commissary doesn’t sell a plain white t-shirt for those who would like a little more clothing.
I just send my son money through the internet service for the 1st time. He’s only been in jail for 3 days. Will he be notified that he has commissary funds available without I having to go see or write him?
Acestarr01 – Yes.
I sent commissary about 10 days ago my QUESTION is??? how long does it takes for the inmate to receive it.
Magdalena – We’re not sure what you mean. Did you send an iCare package? Or did you put money into the inmate’s commissary account? Inmates order commissary. No one else. Please explain a little bit more so we can find an answer for you.
I ordered an iCare package (Choco Latte) on March 12, 2013. In addition, I ordered the Afternoon Delight package. My son received the latter but not the former. He thinks it was delivered to another inmate by mistake. Since I paid for the package that he did not receive, I expect a Choco Latte be delivered to him. I’ve tried to leave a message with the Commissary but continue to receive a “This mailbox is full” message. I have the order numbers for the two orders. I expect to hear from someone today. My telephone number is 210-***-****. Thank you.

Mike – To begin with, we are not the Bexar County Jail. We are not affiliated with them in any way. This is a private website designed to help family and friends of incarcerated individuals maneuver through the Jail’s processes.
Now to help you with your problem we feel your best course of action would be to contact the Sheriff’s Office Administration to complain not only about the missing package but also the trouble you had contacting the Commissary department. The phone number is 210-335-6010. It is an 8 – 5, Monday – Friday office.
Im writing to see why my wife has not received her commissary yet she ordered it on the 3rd of this month
hello, how does my grandson find out the balance of his account? thank you so much.

Jennifer – We are not the Bexar County jail. We are a private website that helps people maneuver through the different processes of the jail. To find out about your partner’s commissary contact Commissary at 210-335-6484.
My sister purchased me a gift basket 2 weeks ago, I was bonded out and i nhave made several attempts tomcolect it, now I would like it to go to my husband C*** H*****,I would appreciate it very much. thank you!!
Pauline – There are forms in the day rooms that allow an inmate to request all kinds of information. Commissary balance is one of the things they can ask about. He needs to submit one of those forms requesting his commissary balance.
Lisa – We are not the Bexar County jail. We are a privately owned website that tries to help people to navigate through the confusing processes the jail has. The gift baskets are handled by a private company that has a contract with the County. To get more information, including contact information go to the category “Special Programs”. Once there, click on the link titled “Food Gift Packages – iCare”. You will find the links you need there.

Elizabeth – You will need to go to the iCare website for the different prices on their various packages. Go to the category “Special Programs”. Once there click on the link titled “Food Gift Packages – iCare”. There will be information you need along with a link to the iCare website.
