@Dcasprowitz Sorry--in order to claim a dependent you would also have to be able to say you paid for over half his support. You are not doing that--the penal institution where he is incarcerated is supporting him--actually the taxpayers are supporting him. You cannot claim anything for the underwear, toiletries, pen and pencils, etc that you are paying for.
