Mountain View Correctional Facility, Me

Mountain View Correctional Facility holds visiting blocks on Saturdays and Sundays during afternoon and evening hours. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time. Only people on a resident's approved visiting list can visit. If you're not already approved, print, complete, and sign the Adult Facility Visitor Application (one name per application) and mail it to Attention: Visits, Mountain View Correctional Facility. Keep the limits in mind: each visitor gets one visit per weekend and two visits per month. Visits typically require prior approval, pre-scheduling, a government photo ID, and screening. Follow staff instructions when you arrive, and know that leaving the visit area can end your visit.

Mountain View Correctional Facility lets you add money online by credit card to a resident's general (trust) account and phone account, so you can fund basics and calling from home. Sending mail? General correspondence for adult residents must be on 8½" × 11" white paper, written or printed in black or dark-blue ink. Plan your trip carefully: there's no public transportation to the facility. If you need a ride, staff can make a phone available so you can call for transportation. Phone, video, and messaging services are typically handled through approved vendors. That usually means setting up an account and making deposits before you can place regular calls or schedule video visits. New arrivals typically get a small number of free local intake calls.

To send money to someone at Mountain View Correctional Facility, use the department's online Money Deposit Service. Don't mail cash. The online service accepts major credit cards and lets you deposit to a resident's general (trust) account or phone account. Daily limits apply: $100 per day to the general account and $100 per day to the phone account. Deposited funds are generally non-refundable. Expect deposits to be credited in about three business days, so plan ahead if your loved one needs commissary funds or phone time by a certain date. Never try to send cash or other unauthorized money. It's treated as contraband and can lead to sanctions, including possible suspension of visiting privileges.
