South Carolina H3929 allows the Department of Corrections to maintain canteens at prisons for selling items to incarcerated persons.

South Carolina H3929 amends the state code to authorize the Department of Corrections to maintain canteens at all active prisons or institutions for selling items like toilet articles, candy, and notions to incarcerated persons. The bill mandates that canteens provide necessary facilities, equipment, and personnel. It requires the department to insure against damage or loss of canteen materials and supplies. The canteen operations must be audited biennially by the Legislative Audit Council, with reports posted at the canteen and available to incarcerated persons at the library.
