Unless you are denied commissary. Commissary is not a right. It is a privilege that can be taken away. Ask me how I know...

That was the way it was in London's old prisons like Newgate, Marshalsea, Ludgate, etc. If you had some cash, you could pay for a single cell for yourself, get special victuals ordered in, and purchase other benefits not afforded to the regular prisoners.
