content: No. They have to buy it. Or someone on the outside does it for them. The deal is, while in there, an inmate is assigned work. They earn pennies an hour and use that to buy extra amenities like candy, toothpaste, conditioner. There's some prisons that make you pay for all basic amenities however, which is despicable I think. My brother is in prison. He's an idiot and deserves it, but the pennies he works for at the maximum amount he's allowed to earn, goes to food and he can't afford, toothpaste, socks, soap, or underwear (yes underwear). And it's really expensive for us, his family and friends, to buy him these things through JPay. And I mean REALLY expensive for what it is once you include the fees. I get that their inmates but it's not self sufficient. It's a profit  based system fueled by greed. What else is new right?
