To make an online deposit: 
Approved individuals may place money in an inmate’s trust account through the online Inmate Trust Account Deposit service here. There is a $250 limit for transactions. No proceeds benefit the state of Montana or the Montana Department of Corrections. 
 
The login process for the Online Inmate Trust Account Deposit service changed on June 14, 2022. Users will need to create a new account.
 
When creating your account in the Online Inmate Trust Account Deposit service, confirm that the name you enter matches the name on your visitation application exactly.  For example, if you used a middle initial on your application, include the initial in your Inmate Trust account.  If your name does not match exactly, the system will not accept your payment.
