Canteen and Property Rules for Families (Missouri DOC)

Missouri Department of Corrections page for family and friends explaining the offender canteen, which works like a small convenience store selling candy, soda, snacks, radios, televisions, toiletries, postage supplies, writing materials, shoes and clothing, bought with state pay and money sent from outside. It states that property items must not be mailed to an offender because they will not be accepted and may be returned at the offender's expense or donated to charity; instead families should deposit funds so the offender can order approved items. The page also covers buying reading material from a bona fide vendor subject to a $100 value limit and censorship guidelines, the rules for sending in prescription clear lens glasses, limits on excess property, and the single package of release clothing allowed within 30 days of discharge.
