South African satirical news item
A few hours later, well lubricated and suitably dulled, the inmates finally returned to their cells, where Oscar was tucked in snugly by the ever tender Tiny Tsepho, just before lights out. Im so happy right now, giggled Oscar. If I had my gun Id shoot it in the air.

Back to real life ...
OP was unlikely to get any cake. But he could get stationary, cigarettes or toiletries from family members as part of his normal monthly allowance of purchases visitors can make for him. A spokesman said, No extended visiting hours are provided to inmates during their birthdays.
There are rules when it comes to presents. For sentenced offenders, generally, no items are allowed except for, perhaps, birthday cards. However, his family might be able to purchase treats at the prison kiosk according to the departments website, visitors can buy items at the kiosk which can be consumed by the inmate during visiting hours. Inmates families are also allowed to provide items such as toiletries, stationery, batteries for a radio or battery operated shaver, a telephone card or postage stamps. Much depends on what category the inmate is in.
Prisoners in all categories are allowed to keep photo-albums with a maximum of 20 photos or can keep six loose photos

Bearing in mind Radovan Krejcir had a birthday cake and shared it with fellow inmates, including OP, I cant see why OP wouldnt have had a cake.
