Montgomery County Jail, IN

Montgomery County Jail offers onsite and video visits on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, with multiple weekend sessions available. Visits are first-come, first-served—no early check-ins or advance scheduling on-site. Inmates must be in custody for five full days before they can receive visitors, and they can submit visitation sheets to approve up to five adults per month. Onsite visits last 20 minutes, and staff may end them early if guidelines aren't followed. Plan to arrive at least 25 minutes before the listed end time, or your visit request will be denied. Bring a state-issued photo ID. Only one minor can accompany each visitor. Ministers and spiritual counselors need to apply, get approved, and schedule in advance.

Montgomery County Jail uses Securus Video Connect for remote video visits. You'll need to create a Securus account and schedule through their system. Visitors pay for each session, so check the vendor site for current pricing before booking. Securus works through a web platform and free app, letting friends, family, attorneys, and officials join video sessions from almost anywhere. Beyond video visits, Securus also supports electronic messages, photos, and eCards through your vendor account or the facility's tablet system. Before signing up or paying, review the jail's information page and vendor instructions to understand fees, approvals, and any rules that apply.

Mail rules at Montgomery County Jail are strict—a clean, straightforward letter is your safest bet. The jail prohibits stickers, unknown substances, adhesives, powders, glitter, currency, mechanized devices, and printed clippings or book pages. Photos must be unedited (straight out of the camera/SOOC) to be delivered. Staff inspect incoming personal mail for contraband. Legal mail is handled differently and may be opened in the inmate's presence if inspected. Many Indiana facilities scan personal mail and deliver it electronically to kiosks or tablets, so originals may not always reach the inmate—call the jail to confirm whether they use a scanning system. Address the envelope clearly with the inmate's full name and ID, and include your full return address to avoid delays.

Montgomery County Sheriff's Office posts the jail's administrative contact information, including address, main phone, fax, and a non-emergency line for routine questions. For records or crash reports, route requests through the Sheriff's Office—email dell.wilson@montgomerycounty.in.gov. Crash-report releases requested in person during business hours cost $7, while online requests typically run $10–$12. Fingerprinting for permits and licenses is available by appointment; call during business hours and ask for Dell Wilson to schedule. Federal background checks for individuals are available in person during normal business hours for $7. For fastest help, use the specific contact method listed for your request.
