The Commissary
ORDER UP
Convicts were allowed to visit the prison commissary each week. Maximum and minimum-security prisoners had separate designated commissary windows, and if the prison was on lockdown, commissary goods were then delivered to maximum-security inmates' cells.
Money earned working inside Brushy (which wasn't much for most prison jobs) along with any funds sent from family members was added to personal inmate commissary accounts. These accounts were then used to purchase various items the inmate had placed an order for such as shampoo, candy, instant coffee and
even cigarettes.
