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

There's a secure deposit kiosk in the facility's front lobby. If you're already heading there for a visit, it's the easiest way to put money directly onto an inmate's account.

  • Cash accepted: $5 bills
  • Cash accepted: $10 bills
  • Cash accepted: $20 bills
  • Cash accepted: $50 bills
  • Cash accepted: $100 bills
  • Not accepted: $1 bills

Tip: Deposits made at the secure deposit kiosk give inmates immediate access to the funds. If they need money right away, this is the fastest option.

The facility caps deposits at $300 per transaction. Need to send more? You'll have to split it up.

Online and phone payments take up to 10 minutes to post. That's not long, but if someone's waiting to use the funds, it matters. Kiosk deposits hit the account immediately.

Want to send commissary items instead? You can place an order online through the Montgomery Packages ordering site or call (800) 546-6283.

Before you start adding items to your cart, know the limit: family members can send up to $25 worth of commissary per week.

Ordering hours: Monday–Friday 8:30 AM–12:00 AM (EST) and Saturday 11:00 AM–5:00 PM (EST).

  1. Use the lobby kiosk when timing matters - kiosk deposits give the inmate immediate access to the money.
  2. If you deposit online or by phone, build in a small buffer - those payments can take up to 10 minutes to post to the account before the funds show up for use.

Reminder: Deposits are capped at $300 per transaction, so plan larger amounts as separate transactions.
