Yellowstone County Detention Center, MT

Video visitation at Yellowstone County Detention Center runs through NCIC. Set up your NCIC account first, then use the NCIC video portal to schedule before connecting. In-person visits follow limited time windows, with weekend or holiday blocks and pauses during meals. Check posted schedules or facility notices for exact times. Visitors need to be approved and show a government-issued photo ID at check-in. Minors must come with a parent or legal guardian. Clergy visits work differently: ministers need pre-approval from the Facility Chaplain, and the inmate has to request the visit. Arrive early, keep your contact info current, and follow all visitation rules to avoid losing privileges.

Yellowstone County Detention Center offers remote video visits through NCIC. Each inmate has access to an in-cell tablet or kiosk and gets two free video visits per week. To visit, create an NCIC account, then schedule and connect at Videovisit.ncic.com. You can join from a smartphone, laptop, or any computer with a camera and microphone. Public kiosks are also available in the facility lobby. Need more call or visit time beyond the free visits? Add funds to the inmate's communications account at www.ncic.com or by calling 1-800-943-2189. Video services are monitored and billed, so check balances and vendor rules before booking extra time.

To add money for someone at Yellowstone County Detention Center, deposit funds to the inmate's TRUST (commissary) account online through Team3 Inmate Canteen, use the Blue Kiosk in the facility lobby, or mail a money order. For mailed deposits, send money orders only. Cash and personal checks are not accepted. Include the inmate's full name and jacket number, and address it with "ATTENTION MAIL OFFICER" so it gets routed correctly. Money in the TRUST account covers commissary purchases. Required booking or medical fees may be deducted before commissary funds become available. Inmates can transfer money from TRUST into a separate COMMUNICATIONS account for phone or video services, but they cannot transfer it back.
