Visitation

Maury County Jail has recently updated its visitation policy, so read the current rules carefully before you go. Visiting days and hours are organized by housing area, and each inmate is permitted one hour of visitation per week. The facility uses onsite kiosks to log both visitors and inmates. You'll need to show identification, sign in, state who you're visiting, and sign out when you leave. Expect a background screening and criminal-history check as part of the process. You'll also need to complete a Visitor Application (CR‑2152) and wait for approval before scheduling. Up to four visitors can see an inmate at one time. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an approved adult. Certain clothing and items are prohibited, including large coats, strollers, purses, tobacco, and weapons.

Communication

Communication at Maury County Jail runs through third-party vendors. Video visits are provided by VendEngine, and the inmate phone system is handled by NCIC. You'll use those services to arrange calls and video sessions. You can create an NCIC account by phone, online, or at the jail lobby kiosk. NCIC requires funds in your account before you can receive calls, video visits, or messages. Setup, scheduling, and payments are typically handled through the vendor's portal, app, or an in-person kiosk. Make sure you're registering with the correct vendor before you start. The best approach: verify the vendor name first, create your account, then add funds before expecting a call or video visit.

Sending Money

You have a few options for adding commissary funds at Maury County Jail. The fastest route is VendEngine online, calling 855‑VendEng, or using the kiosk in the jail lobby. These electronic deposits go through a funds processor, and any convenience or processing fees will show during checkout (the processor sets those fees, not the commissary). If you'd rather mail funds, send a U.S. Postal money order payable to Chilton Vending. Write the inmate's full name, ID number, and county on the memo line. Only properly completed postal money orders get deposited. Mail to: Chilton Vending, P.O. Box 31, Pleasant View, TN 37146. There's no fee for money order deposits, but posting time can vary.
