There’s more, but I don’t know what else there is. There isn’t a list like in County Jail.

At visitation, there’s a list on the wall for visitors and the inmates to order from. Small packets of sugar, creamer and condiments sell for a few cents each. (Aren’t we lucky to get it for free on the outside?) Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, pizza, and similar sandwiches are frozen and must be heated in one of the three microwaves in the visitation room. Ted particularly has a fondness for the Snickers ice cream bars but can hardly eat them because of the pain in his tooth.

The Keefe Group is a supplier for correctional facilities. A list of their items can be found here.
