How to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Montgomery Pretrial: All Your Options
Getting money to someone at Montgomery Pretrial is straightforward once you know the approved methods. Here are your options, plus what the facility won't accept.
Montgomery Pretrial uses Access Secure Deposits for online deposits. Create an account on the Access Secure Deposits site, then follow the prompts to add money to the inmate's account.
Prefer to handle it by phone? You can make a telephone deposit 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 1.866.345.1884.
Phone deposits require Visa or MasterCard (debit or credit). You'll get a confirmation number at the end of the call, which is useful if you need to follow up later.
Kiosks in the lobbies of the jail, prison, and Community Transition Center accept cash deposits. This is the only in-person option for adding money to an inmate's account.
Important: Department of Corrections staff will not accept cash, cashier’s checks, or money orders for deposit into any inmate’s account, either in person or through the mail.
If an inmate has no funds, the facility still provides basic health and comfort items plus writing materials. The cost gets debited to the inmate's account, which can push the balance negative.
That negative balance doesn't disappear on its own. Debts are collected whenever funds become available, including during future incarcerations for up to three years.
