Friends & Family

The Montana Department of Corrections recognizes the important role staying in contact with friends and family plays in the overall wellness of offenders while incarcerated, and their successful return to their communities. As such, several options are available to allow offenders to maintain these connections. 

Communication options include: 

  • Messaging
  • Mail 
  • Phone calls 
  • Video visitation 
  • In-person visitation

Please be aware, all communications (with the exception of legal), are monitored and recorded. 

Contract facilities

In addition to DOC-run facilities, the DOC places inmates in contract facilities in Montana and Mississippi.

Contract facilities have different processes for making phone calls, sending money, setting up in-person visitation, and other activities.

Visit the websites below for more information about those facilities.
