Montgomery County Jail — Visiting Hours & How to Schedule a Visit
Visiting Montgomery County Jail is straightforward once you know the weekly schedule. Two rules trip people up most: visits are first-come, first-served, and online scheduling cuts off 25 minutes before the day's end time.
Montgomery County Jail has set visitation windows throughout the week. Evening visits run Monday and Wednesday from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. Weekends offer more flexibility: Saturday has three windows (9:00 AM–11:00 AM, 2:30 PM–4:00 PM, and 6:30 PM–9:00 PM), while Sunday has two (9:00 AM–11:00 AM and 6:30 PM–9:00 PM). Pick the window that works for you and aim to arrive right when it opens - capacity fills up fast.

Visits at Montgomery County Jail are first-come, first-served. There's no way to reserve a spot ahead of time, and showing up early won't let you check in before the window opens. Be ready to go right at the start time. Arrive later, and you might wait longer - or miss out entirely if slots fill up.
- Pick a specific window - Choose one of the published day/time blocks so you’re not guessing.
- Plan to be there at the start time - Visits are first-come, first-served, so the beginning of the window is your best shot.
- Don’t count on early check-in - Early check-ins aren’t allowed, even if you arrive well before the window opens.
- Skip trying to schedule onsite in advance - Onsite visits can’t be scheduled ahead of time, so focus on being ready when the window begins.
Bring a state-issued picture ID. Staff require it, and without one, you'll be turned away. Double-check your wallet before you leave - it'll save you a wasted trip.
- ✓ Bring a state-issued picture ID
- ✓ No state-issued photo ID = you won’t be allowed to visit
Scheduling through Securus (including video visits)? Watch the clock. Your visit must be scheduled at least 25 minutes before that day's listed end time. Requests submitted after the cutoff can be denied by both Securus and jail staff. Play it safe - schedule earlier in the window rather than cutting it close.
Warning: If you try to schedule within 25 minutes of the day’s listed end time, the request can be denied.
Denied or missed your visit? It usually comes down to timing or eligibility. Since visits are first-come, first-served, arriving late means others may already be ahead of you - and there's no way to lock in a spot early. For video visits, the 25-minute scheduling cutoff catches a lot of people off guard. Try to book too close to the end of the window, and the system will reject it. And for in-person visits, no state-issued picture ID means no entry.
- Look up the next visiting window - Use the published day/time blocks and choose the next one you can make.
- Arrive right at the start - With first-come, first-served visits (and no early check-ins), being ready at the beginning gives you the best chance.
- Bring your state-issued photo ID - Don’t risk a wasted trip.
- Schedule video earlier than you think you need to - Make sure your request is in at least 25 minutes before the day’s listed end time.
