Yes was trying to find out what in the world an inmate at a county jail could be spending around $400 to $500 in a week on?

There are only a few places an inmate can spend money on, but be mindful that everything is super-expensive. starting with the phone calls... In my first month away, my wife spent over $6000, which translates into a lot more than $500/wk. Commissary is another area where an inmate can spend $200/wk easily if it is in their account. If there are daily fees from the jail, medical charges or fines, they could be debited from the inmate's account, too.

If their spending is related to hefty phone charges, get an InmateAid account, discounts at some county jails are 80%. Click here to check it out.
