One of the important questions that someone recently asked us was what happens if they order a holiday package for their inmate, and someone else in their family already ordered one. Also, if the facility goes on lockdown all package and mail deliveries will stop until the lockdown is lifted. During the holiday season there is a large influx of incoming mail for inmates, and each piece of mail must be inspected which can add a few days processing time. Please note it may take a few days longer for the package to be delivered within the institution depending on how busy the mail room is. Holiday packages usually take anywhere from 7-10 business days to arrive at the facility. The identification number can be found by doing a simple inmate search (found on our site) using the inmates full committed name. Some important things you will need to know before ordering is the inmate's full committed name, the inmate's location and the identification number for the inmate. It is also important to note that not all facilities participate in these holiday/quarterly package programs. All orders have an ordering cutoff date, at which time packages can no longer be ordered for an inmate. At no time can you simply buy items, put them in a box and ship them to the institution, it must come from an approved third party vendor (I will go over the different vendors below). There is a limit to the number of items that can be sent and is usually restricted to the box size or weight. These packages can contain a multitude of items from various foods and snacks, hygiene products, clothing, shoes, jewelry, electronics, games, puzzles, stationary, and even faith related items. A holiday package, sometimes referred to as a quarterly package, is a care package that is sold by an approved third party vendor that contains an assortment of items for the inmate to enjoy. During the Thanksgiving/Christmas season, we get many questions asking about the Holiday package program for inmates.
