It depends on the security level. In minimum security (low risk non violent or trusted prisoners) the razors are sold at the commissary and freely held, but if you want a new one you have to turn the old one in with all the blades in tact. Also electric battery operated razors are available to purchase. Any incidents or violence with razor blades could see them more tightly controlled like medium and high security populations, and people in minimum security don’t want that. They’re the guys just there trying to serve their time as comfortable as possible. In higher security levels there are shaving groups. Where if you want to shave you and everyone else wanting a shave gets taken into the bathroom and handed a disposable razor. No one leaves that bathroom until all the razors are returned with all the blades in tact.
