How is it a gift when I'm having to send money for him to be able to buy toiletries, underwear, socks & food? And I am not allowed to bring him anything from home that he needs he has to purchase it there. he is not allowed to do work release so he doesn't make any money there and these are things he has to have, as well as notebooks , pens and pencils for classes he's required to take so if I didn't send the money then he wouldn't be able to get them and he's got to have them.. so how is it a gift? it has cost me more with him in there than it has with him out!
