Inmates held over 48 hours who cannot supply their personal care items due to indigence shall receive items provided by which entity?

Inmates who are held for longer than 48 hours and are unable to obtain personal care items due to their lack of financial resources, or indigence, are typically provided with these essential items by the facility itself. This practice ensures that everyone, regardless of their financial means, has access to basic necessities such as hygiene products and other personal care items. Ensuring that all inmates have necessary care items aligns with the standards of humane treatment and the legal obligations facilities have towards those in their custody.

This approach emphasizes the responsibility of the correctional facility to maintain the well-being and dignity of inmates, regardless of their financial situation, which reinforces the principles of social justice within the justice system. Families, the state, or other inmates are not typically the entities responsible for supplying these items, as it would impose an unfair burden on outside sources and could jeopardize the consistency and adequacy of care.
