Service and Commissary |
In accordance
with the mission, vision, goals, and objectives of the
Nolan County Sheriff Office Detention section, all inmates
will be served a minimum of three nutritionally balanced,
well-planned meals per day that are prepared and served
in compliance with governing federal, state and local
laws (nutritional requirements); while at the same time
maintaining a safe, secure and sanitary environment. At
no time will the duration between meals exceed fourteen
(14) hours.
Meal times are as follows:
- Breakfast: 5:00 am to 6:00 am
- Lunch: 11:30 am to 12:30 pm
- Dinner: 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Modified diets will be prepared for inmates as prescribed
by a physician and all reasonable efforts will be made
to accommodate dietary needs of a religion. Verification
of an inmate's religious diet request may be confirmed
by contacting local community religious leaders.
Commissary
Once each week, inmates are issued Commissary Order
Forms that are used to order/purchase a variety of commissary
items using money from their account. Funds must be
on an inmates account at the time any order is submitted.
Commissary items will be delivered to inmates in their
housing units; delivery days and times may change due
to weather, holidays and unforeseen circumstances. Commissary
items will be held for 3 days after an inmate is released
from custody.
Items available for purchase include but are not limited
to: snacks, hygiene products, stationery, reading glasses,
phone time and over-the-counter medication.
The costs of commissary items are comparable to those
of convenience store prices. Money is maintained on
the inmate's account from cash that they had at the
time of arrest and through subsequent deposits from
family and friends. Deposits may be made to an inmate's
account at the Sheriff's Office or online at JailATM.
Once a week, inmates with an account balance of less
than two dollars will receive a package containing two
stamped envelopes, a toothbrush and toothpaste, pencil,
deodorant and soap.
