Q: Why are some of my favorite brands not available ?
A: We carry a broad selection of products that meet the stringent guidelines of the Colorado Department of Corrections. Many of your favorite brands may not be considered appropriate for use inside a correctional facility or may not meet the strict packaging requirements. Please let us know however if you have an item that you would like us to carry and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Any discrepancies reported by the purchaser of the package will not be accepted or honored. Once the offender has opened his or her package for any reason, no discrepancies can be reported.
