Random Stuff You Can Actually Buy in a Prison Commissary (21 items)

(#9) Fabric Dryer Sheets

Price: $3.85

TV and movies show inmates assigned to do group laundry detail, but apparently you can get your own laundry soaps and dryer sheets. For a small fee, you can even keep your prison uniform feeling extra soft.
(#16) Nutella

Price: $0.30

Prison life is nothing if not stressful, which might explain the availability of a comfort food like Nutella. This creamy chocolate hazelnut spread tastes great on toast, and with all that time spend working out in the prison yard, inmates likely don't have to worry too much about calories.
(#14) Cheese
- Food
Price: $2.95

Everyone loves cheese, but it tends to go bad pretty quickly. So, that's why inmates only have access to good old Cheese Whiz. It may not be the real thing, but it'll do in a pinch.
(#13) Scissors
- Drug
Price: $6.45

Most likely these would be safety scissors.
(#1) Octopus
- Animal
Price: $1.65

You may associate prison food with nondescript gray mush, but think again - there's a prison in Colorado that allows inmates with a sophisticated palate to order baby octopus.
(#15) Sporks

Price: $0.40

Now that you've bought yourself some prison oysters, what are you going to eat them with? Luckily, the prison commissary also provides sporks.
