Montgomery County Correctional Facility's Visiting Schedule: When You Can (and Can't) Visit
Planning a visit to Montgomery County Correctional Facility (MCCF) gets a lot easier once you know the visiting windows, the mid-week blackout day, and the limits on how often you can visit.
MCCF runs three family visiting windows: 8:00am–11:00am, 1:30pm–4:00pm, and 6:00pm–8:30pm. Here's the catch: there's no family visiting on Wednesdays. The other days follow the schedule above, but Wednesday is a complete blackout.
Note: MCCF posts its visiting schedule online at montgomerycountymd.gov, so you can check the most current posting before you go.
Eligible inmates can receive up to two visits per week. Each visit lasts forty minutes, so plan your travel and childcare around that window - don't expect an open-ended session.
Build in flexibility: Visits normally run forty minutes, but staff may cut them short during busy periods or for operational reasons.
MCCF can change the visiting schedule without notice. If you're driving any distance, double-check the posted hours before you leave - don't plan your whole day around a schedule that may have shifted.
Safety comes first: If the facility encounters an emergency situation, visiting will be immediately terminated and visitors are expected to leave promptly.
Practical Tips
- ✓ Pick one of the three family visiting windows (8:00am–11:00am, 1:30pm–4:00pm, or 6:00pm–8:30pm) and plan your arrival around that time block.
- ✓ Don’t plan a Wednesday visit - MCCF does not have family visiting on Wednesdays.
- ✓ Coordinate with your loved one on which two visits they’ll use that week, since eligible inmates may receive up to two visits per week.
- ✓ Budget for a 40-minute visit, since visits normally last forty minutes.
- ✓ Build in wiggle room: during busy periods or to meet operational needs, staff may shorten visits at their discretion.
- Check the posted schedule online - MCCF makes the visiting schedule available at montgomerycountymd.gov.
- Re-check close to your trip - the facility may change the visiting schedule without prior notice.
- Adjust your plan if needed - if the posted schedule has changed, pick a different visiting window/day rather than showing up expecting the old hours.
