How to Visit Montgomery Pretrial Detention Facility (FL)
Visiting someone at Montgomery Pretrial Detention Facility requires some planning. Visits must be scheduled in advance, and there's a strict weekly visitor limit. Here's what you need to know before setting anything up.
Start by planning around the weekly limit. Each inmate can receive only one visitor per week, so coordinate with family and friends beforehand to decide who will use that week's slot.
Two timing rules can trip you up. Visits can be scheduled up to 14 days in advance, but every visit must be booked at least 24 hours ahead. If you're trying to visit tomorrow, you may already be too late depending on when you try to book.
Planning a video visit? There's a Video Visitation Center at 500 E. Adams Street, listed as no-cost for friends and family. These visits max out at two hours, so plan your day accordingly.
Note: Don't show up during visitation expecting to drop off items or money. For Work Furlough inmates at the Community Transition Center, authorized property can be delivered to the public reception area during regular operation hours. Money and/or property will not be accepted during visitation hours there.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Schedule the visit at least 24 hours in advance.
- ✓ If you want to plan ahead, you can schedule up to 14 days in advance.
- ✓ Plan who will visit this week, since each inmate may receive one visitor per week.
- ✓ If you are using the Video Visitation Center, go to 500 E. Adams Street (listed as no cost for friends and family).
- ✓ Keep the time limit in mind. Video Visitation Center visits have a two-hour maximum.
- Deliver authorized property the right way. If the inmate is in Work Furlough at the Community Transition Center, authorized property may be delivered to the public reception area during regular operation hours.
- Do not bring money or property to visitation hours. Money and/or property will not be accepted during visitation hours at the Community Transition Center.
Before locking in travel plans, confirm the basics with the facility: the one-visitor-per-week limit, the 24-hour advance booking requirement, and the option to schedule up to 14 days ahead. Policies change. A quick call can save you from showing up on the wrong day or missing the scheduling window entirely.
Note: If you plan to use the Video Visitation Center at 500 E. Adams Street, verify the current details before you go. Confirm whether it's still no cost and whether the two-hour maximum is being enforced.
If you're planning to bring anything for the inmate, double-check the property and money rules first. For Work Furlough inmates at the Community Transition Center, confirm where the public reception area drop-off happens and what "regular operation hours" means that day. Also verify that money and/or property will not be accepted during visitation hours at the Community Transition Center, so you don't make a wasted trip.
- ✓ Check the facility’s official website for the current visitation schedule, booking process, and any exceptions.
- ✓ Call the facility directly to confirm day-of changes, holiday impacts, and whether any restrictions apply to your situation.
- ✓ Ask for (or look for) an official visitor FAQ or posted visitation rules so you can match your plans to the latest policy.
