Silverbow County Jail, MT

Silverbow County Jail runs a weekly visitation schedule that assigns specific housing pods to specific days. Check the pod day list before planning your trip. You'll need a photo ID at check-in. Personal items are tightly restricted: cell phones aren't allowed in the visiting area, and the only item you can bring in is your vehicle key. Want to add money to an inmate's account? Plan ahead. The jail accepts funds by mail rather than cash during visits. Publicly posted details are limited, so expect standard steps like completing a visitor application, following any inmate visitor request process, arriving early, and following time limits and rules for minors.

Communication at Silverbow County Jail starts during intake. After being booked, photographed, and fingerprinted, the person in custody can use the phone to contact a bondsman, family member, or friends. Trying to sort out release details? The detention center has a dedicated contact line for bonding and bail information (use the facility's listed bail contact number). If you received a citation, the facility's instructions say you must appear between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM on the date written, or call the listed rescheduling number to change your appearance time. Phone, tablet, and video services are typically handled through third-party vendors. Calls and video time may be monitored and recorded, and paid services usually require setting up a vendor account and adding funds.

Sending money to someone at Silverbow County Jail has strict rules, so follow them closely. Commissary funds must be mailed to the detention center as cash or a cashier's check only. If money is included in a letter, that letter will be destroyed. You also can't bring cash into the facility or hand money to an inmate during a visit. All deposits have to be mailed in. Once funds hit the account, required charges come out first, including the booking fee and any medical copay. The remaining balance goes toward commissary purchases. If you'd rather use a kiosk or online deposit option, confirm which methods Silverbow authorizes before sending funds.
