    Hi all, I am a graduate student at Temple University, and I'm working with a small group of students to better understand how prison/jail commissaries work. We wish to know: - How friends and families of inmates send inmates money/gifts; - How the commissary system works within jails and prisons; - What inmates typically buy; - What inmates wish they could buy; - The ways in which commissaries fail to provide inmates with what they need make their lives more confortable. If you currently work in a prison, or if you have a friend or loved one that is currently or has recently been imprisoned, could you please take the time to fill out this anonymous survey? It should only take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Your input will be added to a growing body of research that is devoted to improving the commissaries in jails and prisons across this country. The survey is located here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=E8DX6eEIXhs9my9gaE0Q3g_3d_3d Thank you so much, and have a wonderful day.

     I will send the survey along to the person in charge of canteens. As a training director I would not know what offenders can and cannot order.
