DCS Resumes Accepting Care Packages for Inmates/Wards

May 14, 2021Health, Outreach, RehabilitationRomane Samuda

Starting Tuesday, May 25, 2021, the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) will be accepting care packages for inmates and wards through appointments.

In light of the Disaster Risk Management Orders, the public is being advised to obtain approval from the correctional facilities where relatives and friends are housed before attempting to deliver care packages. Relatives seeking to schedule appointments may do so via the contact numbers listed on our website at Department of Correctional Services Jamaica. All packages must contain general care items only;  food items will not be accepted.

For more information, follow the DCS’ social media pages for updates on important matters concerning Correctional Services such as visiting hours and procedures to make deposits to tuck shop cards.

The handles are @DCS_Jamaica on Instagram and @DepartmentofCorrectionalServicesJamaica for Facebook.
