The [[commissary]] is where inmates can purchase items, such as feminine hygiene products. Any item not available for purchase is considered [[contraband]]. The wages earned through their jobs at Litchfield as well as any amount added from outside sources (ie: a friend or family member) are held in each inmate's "bank" (or account) and can be used to purchase items at the commissary. A hold of two weeks, however, is put on monies coming from outside sources. [[Mei Chang]] is the current inmate in charge of selling the goods to other inmates.

Line 162:
One of the first changes MCC brought to Litchfield was the introduction of privately contracted inmate labor. The new employment opportunity was introduced to the inmates with no other detail except the $1/hour wage. Inmates were told they had to take a test and the new assignments would be posted on a bulletin board. Once inside a previously unused warehouse, the inmates discovered they would be making lingerie for the intimate apparel company, [[Whispers]]. Piper came up with an idea to make extra underwear from scrap fabric and "smuggle" them out once work was finished. She asked inmates around the prison to start wearing these knickers and give them back to her used, so they could be shipped out of the prison and sold to perverts who wanted dirty underwear. The business plan spread and even a [[Baxter Bayley|CO]] got involved by acting as the mule.

After the original gaurds' walk out, MCC decides to hire veterans in "(Insert Episode)" so that they can get a tax break, but need to offer something as the budget doesn't allow for good pay. Caputo suggests fixing up the houses just off camp that used to house COs. This is also where Kukudio and Crazy Eyes go when they run away after being at the lake in "[[Work That Body For Me]]".

[[Litchfield Penitentiary]] also houses a [[Maximum Security|maximum security prison]] on its property, for inmates with more serious offenses. It is often referred to by inmates as "max".
