How to Find an Inmate at Montgomery County Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the person’s name, booking date, charges, and current custody status. Records are not always searchable immediately after an arrest because booking, identification, medical screening, and data entry can take several hours. If a person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility directly for general custody information permitted by law.
