A:

1.Currently correctional facilities provide three meals, drinking water, uniforms (including a jacket) and public tableware to inmates. 

2.When an inmate first arrives at a correctional facility, the facility will dispense basic daily necessities (including underwear, toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, tissue paper and  soap, one set each). If the supply is not enough, inmates can ask their relatives to send  (bring) them the items or make purchase themselves. 

3.Inmates with financial difficulties can apply to the facility for subsidy to buy additional daily supplies. 

4.Inmates who urgently need daily necessities may apply to the correctional facility for a loan and return the item in a manner specified by the facility.   

5.If an inmate has certain special needs (e.g. artificial limbs, crutches or dentures), he or she can apply to the facility for permission and the facility will make the purchase on  behalf of the inmate, or the inmate’s relatives can send the item through the reception  desk or apply for permission to send the package by post. Refer to “6. Sending Money, Food and Supplies to Inmates” about ways to send items to inmates.
