Whan an inmate is told by the guards to "pack your $#&@" that means they are heading to A & O to be processed for transfer. What the inmate packs out is anything tangible that was collected while incarcerated. Things like books, magazines, letters and the clothing bought at commissary, food stuffs are not normally allowed. This "pack" is transferred separately and delivered to the inmate's new location where they will receive it.
