About Us

The Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office CareMart website is a division of the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office Inmate Canteen.  Our Goal is to provide a convenient method for the public to purchase gifts for the inmates within our facility, and CareMart is a new, innovative approach in providing  you with this convenience.  While visiting CareMart online you can choose from a variety of top name brands that we have put together in gift packages, along with other choices such as Fresh Favorites (Fresh Cooked Restaurant Style Meal), or you can provide them with additional clothing items that they may desire while incarcerated.  We hope our efforts have made things more convenient for everyone, and we look forward to serving your needs.
