Walkenhorst's is a long-running, nationwide vendor for sending packages to people in prison. It works directly with facilities across the country to offer food, hygiene, religious, and personal-property packages tailored to each location's rules.
What Walkenhorst's offers
- Food packages — snacks and groceries.
- Hygiene & personal-care items.
- Religious items.
- Property packages (clothing and other approved goods) where the facility allows.
How to order
- Go to walkenhorsts.com and select your state.
- Search for your inmate by ID or name and enter their information.
- Shop the catalog assembled for that specific package program, then check out.
You can also order by phone at 800-660-9255, or by mailing an order form to Walkenhorst's, 445 Ingenuity Ave, Sparks, NV 89441. Walkenhorst's accepts credit cards, money orders, and personal checks.
Watch for parole dates
One useful Walkenhorst's feature: when you order for someone with an upcoming parole date, the site prompts you to confirm it. This prevents sending a package your loved one may not be around to receive — a small but thoughtful safeguard.
Ordering tips
- Only items in the facility-specific catalog can be sent; outside goods aren't allowed.
- Respect any spending limits, quantity caps, and seasonal ordering windows.
- Confirm the correct facility — programs and approved items vary widely by location.
