Montgomery County PA Correctional Facility — Inmate Records & Recent Arrests

Montgomery County Correctional Facility: Inmate Search & Visits

This page holds the inmate records we have on file for the Montgomery County Correctional Facility, the county jail at 60 Eagleville Road in Eagleville, Pennsylvania, in the Philadelphia suburbs. As a county jail, it primarily holds people who were recently arrested and are awaiting court, along with some serving short local sentences, so its population turns over quickly. The records below are a directory of booking entries we hold for the facility; because a jail changes throughout the day, always confirm anything current against the county's official roster or by phone at (610) 635-7100. For more on this facility — history, programs, and what to expect — see our full facility profile.

Searching for someone in Montgomery County

Montgomery County publishes an online inmate roster, updated regularly, that offers useful detail about each person, including their booking date, charges, and bail amount if one has been set — helpful when you are trying to figure out whether and how to get someone home. On this page you can also browse the records we hold by last name (A–Z), gender, or age to find someone quickly, then confirm their status on the county roster or by calling the facility. If a recent arrest does not appear yet, a booking can take a few hours to process, so try again a little later.

Visitation hours and rules

Visitation at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility is available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. All visitors must have a valid photo ID and are subject to inspection, and visitors under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. Visits are conducted in a non-contact manner. Because county jails often require advance scheduling and may use video for some visits, confirm the current process and whether you need to book ahead before you go, and arrive with enough time to clear check-in within the visiting window.

Sending money — mind the bookkeeping rule

You can add funds to a person's commissary account online through a secure service, by mailing a money order to the facility, or by making an in-person deposit during regular business hours. There is a specific procedure worth noting: envelopes containing money orders must be addressed to the attention of the Bookkeeping Office, and you should not include personal correspondence with a money order — send letters separately. For payment options and account-credit policies, call the jail at (610) 278-3331. Funds cover commissary and phone use, which for someone held pre-trial can make a real difference in daily comfort and staying in touch.

Writing to someone at the jail

Mail is a dependable way to stay in touch, but every piece is inspected for contraband, and Montgomery County has updated its mail procedures. Address your letter with the inmate's complete name to the detention mailing address at 60 Eagleville Road, Eagleville, PA 19403-1400, and include your mailing return address. Keep letters simple, avoid stickers, glitter, or adhesive that could get mail rejected, and remember to send any money order separately to the Bookkeeping Office rather than tucked into a personal letter. Our letter service formats and sends mail so it meets facility rules and reaches the right person.

Because this is a pre-trial jail, bail may be an option

Many people at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility are held pre-trial, meaning they have not been convicted and may be eligible for release on bail while their case proceeds — and the county roster often shows the bail amount if one has been set. If bail has been set, posting it can get your loved one home during the case, and a licensed bail agent can walk you through the amount, the paperwork, and the process. If no bail has been set yet, that is usually decided at an early court appearance. Everyone listed here is presumed innocent; an arrest and booking is an accusation, not a conviction.

Phone calls and staying connected

Phone contact is often the fastest way to reach someone in the jail, especially in the anxious first days after an arrest. Calls are placed by the person in custody out to numbers on their approved list, so make sure your number is set up and funded with the jail's phone provider so their calls connect. Prepaid accounts avoid the higher cost and interruptions of collect calls, and lower-cost calling arrangements can keep contact affordable if a case drags on. Because someone held pre-trial may be in the jail only briefly, setting up a phone account and a small commissary balance quickly ensures your loved one can reach you from the very first days. Coordinating among family members so someone is always reachable when a call comes through makes those early, uncertain days considerably less stressful for everyone.

What the records here can and cannot tell you

This listing is a snapshot assembled from public data, not a live view of who is inside the Montgomery County Correctional Facility at this moment. People are released, bonded out, transferred, or moved to other custody, so an entry can be out of date, and a detail such as a name or identification number may be recorded imperfectly. Read any record as a pointer and confirm the current picture on the official roster or by phone. If a very recent booking is not showing yet, give it a few hours and check again. Most importantly, many people here are awaiting court and have not been convicted; a booking is an accusation, and everyone is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Next steps

Confirm the person's status — and any bail amount — on the county roster or by phone at (610) 635-7100, then use this page to keep track and take the next step: plan a visit within the posted hours, confirm the deposit method at (610) 278-3331 and add funds (money orders to the Bookkeeping Office), send a first letter, and if bail is set, talk with a licensed agent. Confirm anything urgent directly with the facility before you travel or send anything.
