No, you cannot see what they inmates spend their money on. But, what are you worried about? Maybe he's buying candy, or snacks, or sneakers or medicine - it most certainly would be a very uninteresting list. Inmates are entitled to privacy - that includes the commissary purchases, or who sends them money, or who is on their call list or who is on their visiting list.
