Hi,
I am fairly new here but not to the addiction part. My son is also
in jail and needed new sneakers, my resolution was to look through
all his very old clothing and did find a pair that he wouldn't wear when
he had freedom.
I cleaned them up, bought new laces, sneaker polish, buffed them
up nicely and sent them to him...he was quite surprised as to how
nice they were and totally forgot about them. He actually said thank
you Mom they worked great and within the code of what they will allow
in jail. I didn't tell him that they were the ones I bought the first time
he was in jail and he ditched them fairly quickly when he was out..
I know that you will find you own way to deal with this..good luck.
