There is a restriction based on the number of items you may purchase for an inmate. You may purchase (1) item from the Basket category and/OR (1) item from the MeaL category together, but you may not order more than (1) item from the same category.

How do I find or search for an inmate to send a gift to?
In order to find a recipient to send a gift to, you must first place an item into the cart. At checkout, you will be prompted to enter in inmate information to deliver the gift to.
In order to search for an inmate, you must enter in their first name, last name or inmate number. To perform a name search at the facility, you must enter at minimum the first three letters of either their first/last name or first three digits of their inmate number . After which, you will need to wait as the site actively searches against the database for the individual.
In the instance there are multiple individuals with the same name, it is the buyers responsibility to know the inmate number. We will assume no liability for purchases sent to the wrong inmate due to the buyer choosing the wrong recipient and we will not offer a refund.
I have a prepaid credit card that does not have a billing address, can I still purchase from this site?
You will need to call or visit the website of the company that issues your prepaid credit card to register a billing address for online shopping purposes. OutsideInside.com always validates a billing address upon checkout and will not let you proceed without a valid address attached to your payment.
What is a Card Verification Value (CVV)?
