Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-26

Life in prison is basically free, but every month inmates can purchase some items in a centralized manner, and these additional items need to be purchased by the inmates themselves.

According to the regulations of a prison in Guangdong, the upper limit of the monthly consumption of prisoners at the wide management level is 800 yuan, 600 yuan for the general management level, and 500 yuan for the inspection level. At present, many prisons have set up in-prison shopping e-commerce platforms, and inmates can independently select more than 200 kinds of goods on the e-commerce platform and place orders and pay for them by clicking on the screen on the terminal, and the cooperative merchants will distribute them uniformly.

The most common things inmates buy are snacks and sauces. Prison meals may not be suitable for every inmate's taste, and inmates will buy some chili sauce and mustard and eat them together during meals.

Snacks are also indispensable in the consumption of inmates, and ham, pineapple crisp, and small bread, which we may not look at outside, are already very rare for inmates.

Daily necessities are also available to inmates in prison. When inmates enter the prison, they are given a set of daily necessities, including washbasins, mouthwash cups, toothbrushes, towels, etc. If it is used up after a long time, the inmates need to buy it themselves.

There are also some daily necessities that are not issued in prison, such as shampoo, shower gel, and cream, which can also be bought on the prison consumption platform if the inmates are more particular about their lives and need to use them.

Inmates who want to write letters to their families have to buy envelopes, stationery and stamps in prison. If the family wants to send a letter to the prisoner, you can send a letter in the family mail applet**, and you can also buy some stationery, stamps, and envelopes for him by the way, if the prison allows, then the prisoner does not have to buy it himself, and it is more convenient to write a letter home.

Information in prisons is relatively closed, inmates do not have access to information from the outside world, and many inmates like to read books and newspapers and magazines during their breaks. Every year or every six months, the prison will organize inmates to order newspapers, magazines and books, and inmates can order some books and newspapers according to their own preferences, and they can read books to pass the time in their free time.

The monthly consumption of inmates is limited, so in prison, we must learn to plan our consumption and use every penny wisely, so as to make life better for inmates.
