Jenny: some jails allow you to take in certain items. If you can take something in with you, the less you have to pay for commissary. Otherwise, make sure they have enough money each week to buy the items needed.
Alicia: Just stick by them visit them make sure they had Commissary and make sure they know they are loved and wanted. Because with out all that one does go crazy watching others have what you dont. You have way to much time inside and all you do is think of the would of's, should of's and could of's. Its one of the hardest things i have had to do in my life...
