UPAN received this communication from UDC this morning about the commissary situation at the prisons:

Good morning advocates,

Please see the below information for loved ones about recent commissary orders that may have been affected. Our staff is directly communicating this to each resident, as well.

ORDER RESUBMISSION REQUIRED

Due to a system error, recent orders were lost and cannot be recovered. All funds will be refunded to residents accounts today by 5:00 PM. Residents are still able to place orders.

This Week’s Delivery: Inmates must place a new order by midnight tonight, 11/03/26. If they do not submit a new order by this deadline, they will not receive commissary this week.
Next Week’s Orders (Double Spending Limit): The ordering window opens on Wednesday, 11/04/26, and orders will be pulled for fulfillment on Monday, 11/09/26.

About UPAN

The Utah Prisoner Advocate Network (UPAN) is dedicated to supporting families and loved ones as they navigate the challenging journey of incarceration. When a friend or family member is incarcerated, it can be an overwhelming experience, as supporters face the complex rules, regulations, and restrictions of life separated by bars. UPAN works to make this transition less complicated and isolating by providing resources and support for families while also advocating for better conditions and fairness within Utah’s correctional facilities. Please visit our About Page to learn more.
