How to put money on an inmate's account and use commissary at MCCF
Want to help someone at MCCF with commissary? You'll typically either add money to their account or place a family commissary order. Here's how both work—and the limits you need to know.
MCCF has a Secure Deposit Kiosk in the front lobby for in-person cash deposits. If you're bringing cash, this is where you'll go.
Heads up on cash bills: The kiosk accepts $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills, and it will not take $1 bills.
The lobby kiosk charges a $3.00 fee for deposits between $0.01 and $300.00. Factor that into what you bring.
You can deposit up to $300 per transaction. Need to add more? You'll have to split it across multiple deposits.
To send a family commissary order online, go to www.montgomerypackages.com. This is usually the easiest option if you can't make it to the facility in person.
Prefer to order by phone? Call (800) 546-6283. Phone ordering is available Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 12 AM (EST), and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EST).
Weekly limit: The maximum a family member can order and send for commissary is $25 per week.
Commissary at MCCF runs on a weekly cycle. The order window is Friday through Thursday, with a 2:00 PM Thursday deadline.
Orders are delivered Saturday morning, between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
Any money left in the inmate's commissary account isn't lost - they'll receive the balance when they're released.
