Given the atrocious state of Nick's health (especially teeth -- poor dental health has been linked to heart disease), not to mention the common fate of child rapists in prison, it shouldn't be surprising if Nick dies sooner than later.
Unfortunately, the State has a responsibility to protect his health. If he gets an abscess, they'll deal with it in the cheapest way possible.
This is because of those cases of wrongful imprisonment. If the State lets an inmate fester away into death and is later exonerated, it looks really bad for the State, and lawsuits.
I can't be assed to go back and see who was talking about stamps (I think it was nool), but yes, it's common practice to make inmates buy stamps out of their commissary funds.
Basically, a lot of your rights are stripped away, and are treated as privileges. If you can't afford stamps, you can't write people. That's one of the things that convicts use to guilt their family into sending them money.
They can buy things like chips, cookies, etc. too. I'm not sure what the deal is with drinks, since they could make a weapon from a soda can, or even a juice box straw.
That's one of things to consider before being a fuckwit and getting sent to prison, though.
