How to Contact an Inmate at Missoula Detention Facility, MT (MT)

Steps

  • Call the Missoula Detention (Juvenile) Center at (406) 258-4054 (answered 24/7).
  • If the youth was just processed, expect limited contact at first. They are held in isolation for 24 hours and only an initial phone call is allowed.
  • Do not plan on an in-person parent/guardian visit the same day as intake. Visits are not permitted until the following day.

Before making plans, call (406) 258-4054 to verify details directly. Confirm the phone line is still answered 24/7, and ask staff to explain the current intake process: the 24-hour isolation period, how the initial phone call works, and when parents or guardians can visit. Procedures change, so checking official county or facility sources for updates is also a good idea.
