How to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Montgomery County Correctional Facility

The easiest way to place a commissary order is online through MontgomeryPackages.com. You can do it whenever it's convenient for you. Prefer the phone? Call (800) 546-6283 to place an order. Phone hours are Monday–Friday from 8:30 AM to 12:00 AM (EST), and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EST).

Quick reference: Commissary orders can be placed online at MontgomeryPackages.com or by phone at (800) 546-6283 (Mon–Fri 8:30 AM–12:00 AM EST; Sat 11:00 AM–5:00 PM EST).

There’s a weekly cap on family commissary ordering at MCCF: the maximum a family member can order and send is $25 per week. That limit applies to the commissary orders you place as a family member, whether you order online or by phone. If you’re trying to help someone stretch their commissary, it can help to plan around that weekly amount so you don’t get surprised when you go to place an order.

How to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Montgomery County Correctional Facility

If you're visiting the facility anyway, there's a Secure Deposit Kiosk in the front lobby. It accepts both cash and credit/debit cards. Deposits post electronically to the inmate's account, so this can be a quick option when you're already there.

  • $5 bills
  • $10 bills
  • $20 bills
  • $50 bills
  • $100 bills
  • No $1 bills (the kiosk will not accept them)

Tip: Hang onto your kiosk receipt until you've confirmed the funds posted correctly.

Need to make a deposit by phone (not a commissary order)? Montgomery County has a toll-free line for that: 1-866-345-1884.

MCCF uses different numbers depending on what you need. For commissary orders, call (800) 546-6283 during ordering hours (Monday–Friday 8:30 AM–12:00 AM EST; Saturday 11:00 AM–5:00 PM EST). For deposits (not ordering items), use the county's toll-free deposit line: 1-866-345-1884.

S5

  • Keep your receipt after using the Secure Deposit Kiosk, especially if you paid in cash.
  • Bring the right cash if you’re using bills: the kiosk takes $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, and it won’t accept $1 bills.
  • If a kiosk deposit doesn’t show up the way you expected, contact MCCF and ask for help from the area that handles inmate accounts (have your receipt handy).

Keep in mind: Family commissary orders max out at $25 per week, so you may need to spread your support across multiple weeks.
