Before sending anything, it’s important to check with the prison to confirm what’s currently allowed. Every facility may have slight differences, and rules can change over time.
To simplify the process and reduce the risk of having items rejected, FairThreads offers a curated range of prison-compliant clothing designed to meet Corrections Victoria’s guidelines. Our goal is to make it easier for families and support networks to provide approved essentials without the hassle.
