Information about sending care packages. 

Am I allowed to send my loved one care packages of food or items from home?

Due to safety and security concerns, food and other items may only be sent via the offender care package program.  Please note that the offender care package program is only available during the holidays.  Information regarding this program may be found on the Iowa Prison Industries website at www.iaprisonind.com.  You may also deposit funds into the offender's account so they may purchase their own items through the Canteen.  Information regarding how to deposit funds into the offender's account may be found under Send Money to An Offender.
