About CIG Essentials

Serving Families Sending Packages to NYS Correctional Facilities

CIG Essentials is a New York State inmate package vendor focused on helping families send quality food and everyday essentials to incarcerated loved ones throughout New York State.

We understand that sending a package to a correctional facility can be confusing. Product restrictions, package weight limits, shipping requirements and facility rules can make the process difficult for families. CIG Essentials was created to make ordering simpler, more dependable and easier to understand.

Premium Food Packages for NYS Inmates

Food is at the heart of what we do.

CIG Essentials offers a growing selection of foods and package essentials, including fully cooked meats, chicken, beef, seafood, breakfast foods, snacks, breads, cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, beverages, vegan options and other grocery essentials.

Our focus is providing families with more variety and better food choices when preparing packages for loved ones in New York State correctional facilities.

Fully Cooked Food Options

CIG Essentials specializes in fully cooked food options suitable for our NYS correctional-facility customers.

Our selection includes premium meats, chicken, seafood and other ready-to-ship food products, along with grocery and household essentials families can combine into a customized package.

We continue to expand our product selection so customers have more choices when shopping for their loved ones.

Shipping Designed for Freshness

We take extra care when shipping food.

Perishable orders are packed using thermal insulated packaging and cooling materials when required to help maintain freshness during transportation.

CIG Essentials ships using UPS and focuses on fast delivery to New York State correctional facilities once an order leaves our facility.

More Than a Standard Care Package

CIG Essentials is not built around one-size-fits-all preselected packages.

Customers can choose from individual products and build a package based on the foods and essentials their loved one prefers, while keeping applicable facility requirements in mind.

From premium meats and seafood to snacks, breakfast foods, fresh produce and personal essentials, our goal is to provide families with more choice.

Focused on New York State

CIG Essentials is specifically focused on serving customers sending packages to New York State correctional facilities.

That focus allows us to build our product selection, shipping procedures and customer support around the needs of NYS families rather than trying to serve every correctional system nationwide.

Helping Families Through the Ordering Process

We know these packages are important.

Our customer support team is available to help customers understand ordering, shipping, package preparation and other questions that may arise while placing an order.

We also continue to publish helpful information about NYS inmate packages, food-package requirements, shipping and other topics families commonly need assistance with.

Why Families Choose CIG Essentials

Customers choose CIG Essentials for our focus on New York State correctional facilities, premium food selection, fully cooked food options, fresh and perishable products, thermal insulated shipping and personalized customer service.

Our goal is simple: provide families with quality products, dependable service and an easier way to send food and essentials to their incarcerated loved ones.
