 During the commissioner's meeting, Lawrence County Sheriff Greg Day presented the last six months of the commissary report. A prison commissary or canteen is a store within a correctional facility from which inmates may purchase products such as hygiene items, snacks, and written instruments. Typically, inmates are not allowed to possess cash. Instead, they make purchases through an account with funds from money contributed by friends or family or money earned. Money made from the commissary is then placed in the commissary fund.
