Boulder, MT Riverside Special Needs Unit View
Riverside Special Needs Unit is a secure correctional special-needs facility in Boulder, Jefferson County, Montana, operated under Montana correctional authority. It is not typically used like a standard city holding cell; it is used for people in custody who need additional medical, mental health, developmental, or other specialized supervision. Individuals held here may include sentenced offenders or detainees transferred from other Montana agencies when their custody needs require this setting. The facility’s role is to provide secure housing, supervision, and access to needed services while supporting court orders, sentences, and other parts of the Montana justice system. For current housing authority and custody details, rely on official facility or agency records.

How to Find an Inmate at Riverside Special Needs Unit
To find an inmate at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or offender search. Inmate rosters typically list the person’s name, booking or commitment date, charges or offense information, and custody status. Some records may also show housing location, court information, or release status when available. New bookings and transfers are not always searchable right away because processing, identification checks, and classification can take several hours. If a person does not appear immediately, check again later or contact the facility or the appropriate Montana corrections or Jefferson County office for current information.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Riverside Special Needs Unit?
Visitation rules depend on the person’s custody status, housing assignment, and any medical or security restrictions. Contact the facility or use the official visitation information on this page to confirm scheduling, approval requirements, and visiting hours before you go.
What do I need to bring when visiting Riverside Special Needs Unit?

How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates usually make calls through an approved phone or video service provider, and family members may need to create an account and add funds. Calls may be monitored or recorded, and availability can depend on housing status and facility rules.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Address mail with the inmate’s full name and identification number if available, and include your return address. Mail is inspected for security, and items such as cash, contraband, or unapproved packages are usually not accepted.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary lets eligible inmates buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Deposits are usually made through an approved vendor or facility process, and spending may be limited by custody status or medical restrictions.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Riverside Special Needs Unit?
Bail is set by a court, not by the facility. If the person is eligible for release on bond, the court clerk, sheriff’s office, or listed detention authority can explain accepted payment methods and required paperwork; sentenced state inmates are usually not eligible for bail.
What happens during the intake process at Riverside Special Needs Unit and when will the inmate appear in the system?
