Visitation at Montgomery County Corrections, MD

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Montgomery County Correctional Facility offers family visitation from 8:00am–11:00am, 1:30pm–4:00pm, and 6:00pm–8:30pm Sunday through Saturday—no family visits on Wednesdays. Visits follow a rotating, housing-based schedule: eligible inmates can receive one 30-minute on-site visit on their assigned housing day, with schedules updated about every eight weeks. During modified operations, both visitors and inmates must wear masks inside the buildings, and each inmate may have two visitors at a time (one can be a minor child). The Visitor Handbook notes visits may end immediately for emergencies. Earlier guidance described two visits per week, about 40 minutes each, with up to four visitors reporting together. Expect metal-detector screening for you and your belongings, and bring a quarter for on-site lockers (you'll get it back when you leave).
