Waste of Inmate’s Money
This app was created and ongoing maintenance fees are paid from profits made on the jail commissary. The Cherokee County Jail Commissary allows inmates to purchase personal items, grooming items, food, candy, drinks, correspondence supplies, etc. it is supposed to sell these at prices similar to local stores; however, most prices average 3x the local price. Any profits are supposed to be used to fund programs that benefit inmates (library, computers, education, etc.). Instead, the Sheriff purchased this app, but doesn’t utilize it. Many dead links and old, outdated information. The jail inmate search doesn’t work, etc. What a waste of money being forced to pay these ridiculous prices (20oz bottle of coke $5, Payday candy bar $8, Electric hotpot $57, Nicotine pouches that are $7 at the store are $19 on commissary.
